I still switch back to windows just for Photoshop
How do you like Gimp 3?
It still doesn’t offer any vector graphics tools. Which are critical to my work. So I don’t like it any better than Gimp2
and it probably never will. Inkscape is for vector graphics, like illustrator is for vector graphics. Photoshop isn’t really for that.
Unfortunately, it follows the current Gnome design language. Gnome’s approach to UI design doesn’t click with some people, me included. I feel that while the main UI has not changed much since GIMP 2, the dialogs have become far less intuitive to use.
I was so annoyed by the dialog-buttons-in-title-bar nonsense that I ended up replacing my system gtk3 package with gtk3-classic the first time I used gimp after the 3.0 upgrade. It fixes some other bizarre gnome-isms so GTK3 software is less-jarring under KDE (or …anything not gnome).
Holy shit, that’s much better! Thanks; I didn’t know about that package.
It is GTK3 not GTK4
Look, I appreciate Gimp, but until its selection algorithm, which is straight up ass, gets fixed, Krita will be a better tool for artists.
I think there are new tools with Gimp 3
Also have you tried the magic select?
“better tool” I use GIMP, Inkscape, and Krita, etc. [each having strengths] why would an artist use just one tool?
I mean, I suppose I use Gimp as well, but it’s never the first tool I reach for.
I read a comment somewhere that said Gimp is designed for programmers & Krita is designed for artists & I feel like that’s pretty accurate.
best one I’ve read :-)
it’s a tool made for developer with graphic knowledge not the other way around, there are more ways to shove in your own script than to find something that does what you want
I’ve been using gimp 2.99 (gimp 3.0 alpha? dev builds?) for like 5 years. glad they finally released it…
Gimp has always been such a lifesaver for me. I’m glad to see it still has been getting improvements!
