That's not the issue though, Photoshop doesn't have a native Linux version.

Using wine to run heavy productivity apps can be very troublesome and buggy

[-] spez@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

did they ban that stuff over in lemmy.world?

[-] Saintpaul@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Banned due to liability of the admins getting sued by big corp for hosting. It was really fun reading both sides. Some users pissed and threatening to leave the server. Others agreeing with the decision calling the opposing users whiny and asking why did you even join one of the biggest servers then? 10/10 recommend reading the threads.

Open inkscape Draw circle Export bmp Open as layers 😹

[-] user224 10 points 1 year ago

Why BMP. GIMP can deal with SVGs, no?

[-] magikmw@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

It can open SVGs as raster images, but I never managed it to look great. It's better to export to a BMP from an SVG editor.

a lot of school provide ps 'for free' and expect everyone to use it

In that case, anon should have just figured out a way to run it before the class started

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

A student being proactive?

Where do you think we are?

[-] nao@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

anon decided to bring linux to the classroom, but didn’t go all the way by making sure things actually work

“Wow anon you can run it on THAT?”

[-] PooPooTheClown@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

you can't draw a circle in gimp?

[-] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 32 points 1 year ago

There's no "Shape" tool. You could just select a circular area in an empty layer and fill it though.

[-] Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago

No. The meme was because there was a bug that made drawing some circles go all wonky.

[-] Swiggles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 year ago

You can, it is very unintuitive though. You draw the shape using the eilpse tool and set a border for the selection.

It's not hard, but there is really no way to figure this out without ever looking for a tutorial.

[-] figaro@lemdro.id 25 points 1 year ago

It's absolutely stupid design and more difficult than it needs to be.

I'll say it - Photoshop is infinitely more intuitive than gimp for the average person. Sure, if you are fucking determined, I'm sure you can figure it out eventually. You can even make it work. But if you say it is easier than Photoshop, you are wrong.

I love FOSS stuff but way too many people are delusional about the pros and cons of it. There are absolutely cons.

I stand with op.

GIMP 2 is utter dogshit in terms of user experience.

GIMP 3, the version that is supposed to make everything easier, hasn't been released yet. ^(it's been years and I have given up hoping)

The situation sucks, but there aren't that many developers working on GIMP in the first place. Certainly not as many as Photoshop.

For some reason I do find GIMP easier to use them photoshop tho

[-] looz@sopuli.xyz 72 points 1 year ago

"Software I'm used to is easier for me than software I have no experience with."

What a fantastic insight.

[-] LogarithmicCamel@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You would imagine this to be obvious, but people who are used to Photoshop or Reddit complain all the time that Gimp or Lemmy are not as intuitive, as the other comments fully demonstrate.

I am the same. I tried Photoshop and bazillion of tools didn't help when making a simple picture, while GIMP could do that with relatively easier steps.

Edit: grammar, apologies.

Seriously though, why there is no shape tool in Gimp?

[-] warmaster@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 year ago

Because it's a UX mess.

I stopped using GIMP and started using https://www.photopea.com/. You get most Photoshop features for free (ad-supported) in a familiar interface and without having to install a large slow application.

[-] spindrift@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Photopea is amazing. Its 90% a clone of PS and is sooo much better than gimp.

I used it today to remove a white background on some of our icons to get a transparent png.

It was as easy as going i to the layer options, blend options, and drag the slider. It even has the option that you can hold alt and split the slider in 2 to get transparency blend as a gradient.

This would be a nightmare in gimp, and photopea does it non destructively. And since its a web app you dont even have to install anything. Amazing.
