This image is 100 times funnier now compared to 1000 years ago when I first saw it

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago

Does gimp not have a circle?

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 44 points 5 days ago

I dunno, but it does have the worst UI this side of the 60s.

(the new version is supposed to finally fix this but... [x] doubt)

[-] ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago

New version? I'm pretty I've heard that statement before...

https://www.gimp.org/news/2024/11/06/gimp-3-0-RC1-released/

Rather than trying to be different for the sake of being different, they’ve realized that photoshop and similar UIs actually make for pretty great UX so they’ve adopted it.

TLDR

This was gimp 2.0 when it came out

This is GIMP 3.0 RC

Single window by default did wonders for usability.

[-] Zidane@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

That looks damn near usable now

Whenever I use gimp, and have to draw square, circle, text or a similar shape I swear I need to search the net for the answer.

You can do everything, but it is very counter intuitive to a noob. I don't need to use gimp/Photoshop so I regularly forget it and need to look it up every time. I'm sure that for somebody who uses it regularly it is intuitive.

[-] Hoimo@ani.social 10 points 5 days ago

My Gimp workflow heavily involves Inkscape for that reason. If you need shapes, curves, text, moving stuff around, even scaling and rotating, Inkscape is much better. It's only when I actually have to edit something in an existing image that I open Gimp. And sometimes when I need a complicated guideline, I'll create it in Inkscape, export to png, import in Gimp, just so I don't have to use the shape tool.

The last time I used gimp...it does but in like a really weird way. It's not intuitive.

Iirc you take the circle selection tool and then make a path. Which you then assign a brush width and then a color.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

yeah, I remember it like that too

It's as intuitive as moving the paper under the pen to draw something

  1. Take a picture of the original text with your phone at an angle.
  2. Email the crooked image to yourself.
  3. Copy the rotated text from the crooked image into the destination image.
[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago

That's way harder than what I do, but I'm lucky enough to have access to a flat bed scanner. I just print it out, and then scan it at every angle. That way when I email the scanned photos to myself I have all the angles at once.

Comments saying "you don't" are weak shit. The answer is you rotate each letter one by one.

It will look like shit because they will be ever so slightly misaligned, but such is the fate of the brave

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

There are ways to deal with the kerning and angles. Mostly be drawing lines you later get rid of.

[-] CubbyTustard@reddthat.com 7 points 5 days ago

that's how you do hand lettering too!

[-] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 34 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Install GIMP, Krita, or Inkscape instead

Veeery carefully

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Each letter gets it's own text box. You rotate them once by one. You'll need to measure distance from inner perimeter of the circle and manage the exact angle to center. So a protractor, string, or drawn line can help. (Draw the line before putting the center picture in.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Or, alternatively, use a professional paint program. Which does not necessarily have to be commercial.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

Instead of using MS Paint, maybe you should use Inkscape for such projects. It can easily align text along lines, but the best thing is that it is vector based, so the images easily scale. Very useful for logos.

[-] Abnorc@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago

That's all well and good until you need more jpeg.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

You can always export an Inkscape image as a bitmap in whatever resolution you'll probably need.

I once did an export with a width of >10000px (85cm ~=33.5in @ 300dpi). Yes, the file size sucked. But it looked good.

Or GIMP, yes, but for that kind of logo, Inkscape is definitely the better choice.

It always depends on the project.

This is much too high quality to be called a shitpost.

[-] wabafee@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

It's Ms post

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago
[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

You don’t, Microsoft realized back then that this is the coolest it could ever looked and thusly removed that ability permanently.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I used Adobe illustrator to make mine

i want this on a tshirt

[-] OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

On Windows Paint is like Notepad. Barely functional. There are layers now though, which is a step into right direction. For anything decent you need 3rd party software.

Or use online editor like Photopea or Vector Ink. Checked just now and you can warp text there.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Just type normally along one side and then

One pixel at a time.
