But can he make a circle?
With that kind of attitude, I hope your name is Rick Brewster. Does your million+ user image editing software make circles?
Yeah, it's complicated to make a circle in gimp, but it is very doable.
You can constrain the shape tool to make circles, or you can use a 100% strong brush to make a circle as large as you want at the spot you want it, and then use the select tool to shrink that circle and then erase the infill.
Jfc. Who is this program for?
It's for people that don't want to give Adobe money.
It's for people who want to image bash without paying $20 a month for the privilege.
It's for people who don't mind putting up with quirks in order to support free software and the free expression of creativity.
It's for people like you and people like me and anyone else who feels like using it.
But there are dozens of other free and open source alternatives that are so much more powerful and easier to use. Krita, Affinity, Photopea.... I could go on and on.... Like why does Gimp exist any more? Who is it for?
