Mandatory "use GIMP: is free and open source" comment

[-] DingoBilly@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Just pirate Adobe and get the best of both worlds.

I justify the use of Adobe for professional use cases, like "I have to print a label with a specific set of colors and GIMP has bad CYMK support".
If you have to put a signature where there isn't one or stuff like that, GIMP is more than good for the job and in the meanwhile you're helping a community project to grow.

I'll always choose the FOSS option first, but if you want something that does most of what the Adobe products do, has decent CMYK support, and doesn't charge a subscription, the Affinity software suite (Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher) is pretty good value.

The only problem with GIMP is that is comes with every sensible keyboard shortcut mapped to some random function you use once in a lifetime.

[-] gamer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Can you give an example? The defaults seem perfectly sensible to me.

The other problem is that if it's on your resume, I'm not hiring you.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's not going to be on my resume. Because I know GIMP.

Yeah it really sounds like i wouldn't want to work for you.

BRB, putting GIMP my resume.
