Gimp is not that good compared to photoshop. If you want to use for commercial and business purposes better to pay and use photoshop.
Damn that’s a dry delivery for Lemmy
What are some other good open alternatives to GIMP?
Having been in the design trade for 20 years, I’ve mastered countless design applications, but GIMP’s UI is something I have always struggled with.
My goto these days has been photopea when I need something fast and free… but it’s not open and it’s ad supported.
I’ve heard
mentioned as a more familiar UI, for those moving over from locked-in software.
Idk it its new but the photgimp dot com link is rouge and directs you to spam. I believe this is the real one https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP
Thanks for heads up about the spam.
I’ve changed the link.
Man ain’t nobody lost money because of Gimp. Flawed argument aside, at least Blender could be in for a shout
Adobe didn’t lose money. You can’t lose money you never had.
Look… I like gimp a lot and Jehan is a G.
Adobe has lost basically nothing. Because Gimp is still ridiculously underpowered compared to Adobe Photoshop (let alone the rest of the suite). That is perfectly fine since the vast majority of users don’t need those capabilities. But the people who do (e.g. professionals)? There is really no other choice.
Adobe hasn’t lost anything, they have tied up “design” for any business use. Its a total monopoly.
Yeah, this is kinda BS.
Adobe don’t care. Nearly every design firm is going to ask you about your Adobe experience, so you can use their Adobe software.
Maybe some of their designers will use GIMP. But that’s like saying your office also uses libre office and Linux. Which is extremely rare.
All monopolies (including Adobe) should be seized by the workers, and then split into different companies and collectivized by the workers. Seriously!
