A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There's a reason I'm still rocking CS6. Fuck you for wanting me to pay monthly.

Could just use GIMP at that point.

I've tried. SO many times. It's just so damn clunky. I ended up using Krita (also FOSS) instead.

I'm an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 -- not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It's the vi of image editors.

I’ve never used Photoshop in my life, but use GIMP all the time. Think it has more to do with the workflow you’re accustomed to. Granted, a vi user would probably say the same thing lol.

"Why would I want to use Notepad?"

Did you try Krita?

I've played with it for a little bit, but at this point, I'm so far removed from print design, I gave up after kicking the tires. When my resume ceased to be able to get anywhere as a PDF'd INDD, I tucked tail and went back to Word.

Gimp is not intuitive at all. Krita or Paint.net are good free alternatives and Affinity photo is great (but not free)

[–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Affinity is free as of a couple weeks ago. And there's talk of a Linux native version being considered iirc.

Requires a free license, so the old adage about you being the product probably applies.

Oh is it? TIL

Now if only they could make a Lightroom alternative Id be really happy
