From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Alternatives for Photoshop? (lemmy.zip)

Hello fediverse penguins!

Being in Linux for 2+ years, I have found alternative solutions for the apps I used on windows. But I can't find something like Photoshop.

I started using Krita, which is amazing and does lots of things I do, but the text editor when I try to resize text, it just ruins it and gets blurry sometimes. Then I found inkscape, which was good for, text and everything else worked fine, but not much of photo editor.

So what next? any recommendations ?

I also use kdenlive for video editing, and rawtherapee for DSLR photos editing.

GIMP, but you definitely should install also the GMIC and resynthesiser plugins. With GMIC especially, you're getting so many things that not even Photoshop can do, making GIMP objectively superior.

Edit: If you mean you're looking for a raw editor, meaning you change the colors and how the image themselves look, then you need Darktable. This is a raw editor. GIMP is mainly for VFX.

What do personally use G'MIC for?

https://gmic.eu/

The example screenshots all look gimmicky (heh) or super advanced scientific image processing.

I guess noise reduction is useful to the average user. Depends on how good it is.

Two of my favourite ones are median and montage. One I use for mood boards, the other one is to get rid of either noise or people in images.

Have you tried PhotoGIMP? The link is in the sibling comments. I wonder if the difference, my first time hearing of GMIC.

Yeah, I've tried photogimp, but it just changes the layout to be more comfortable for Photoshop users, which I'm not. GMIC is a collection of different VFX.
