Unironically: oh shit, for real? Like, actual MS.Paint, not that Paint 3D shit?

Actually pretty dope. I'll still probably go with Photoshop for anything beyond cropping a screenshot though since MS sat on their hands for too long on making MS Paint better, and now I've got habits.

[-] Polar@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Photoshop takes ages to open, though.

Photopea.com is pretty cool

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

... why? That sounds like extra work, does it do anything particular that Photoshop and MS Paint don't?

Unfortunately just for Windows 11 :(

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago

Shit, gotta upgrade from XP now.

[-] IGuessThisIsForNSFW@yiffit.net 43 points 1 year ago

Tons of updates and features introduced over the past 20 years - I sleep.

Microsoft paint gets an update - Real shit?!

Onions have layers. Ogres have layers.

Bonzai buddy. It's been a while, I have not forgotten you.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

I realized it was “BonziBuddy” like a month ago. I’m ok my mid 30s. I never knew it wasn’t “Bonzai”.

[-] YaketySax@discuss.online 3 points 1 year ago

I only know because you just told me. What's a bonzi anyway?

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Valid question, no idea!

Gimp rocks. It sucks they're constantly getting curb stomped by Adobe's legal team.

[-] 10EXP@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

I’m now curious about this but can’t find anything. Please help.

[-] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They have a lot of trouble creating tools that aren't patented by Adobe/ photoshop so they have to use loop holes to get them out. It often leads to the UI complaints people have. It's not really note worthy, but legally they can't copy and paste the structure of photoshop, even though they're a lot like them. So their software tends to be unintuitive. If that makes sense. It's mostly the tool names and the UI.

It's specifically the tools that were created by Adobe that take a while to get implemented into GIMP. If someone makes a tool in a FOSS program, it's an open playing field. Sadly, they're mostly copying Adobe/ photoshop so they run into potential legal issues.

Gimp also struggles with layer/image fidelity, but that's more of a resources thing.

Imagine if Microsoft had sued all the other browsers that copied features of internet explorer.

I used Gimp about 15 years ago and I reached out to a guy who worked on Attack of the Show asking him for any tips on how to use Gimp. Surprisingly he responded to me and told me something along the lines of, "Dude, fuck that, just pirate Photoshop." I never looked back.

[-] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Photo editing is sadly one of the few areas where FOSS is still massively behind.

Sometime later .. "Gimp does not have a tool for drawing lines or curves but one way to create a straight line effect is hold down shift when..."

looks at camera

[-] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Circle tool when?

But in all seriousness, I am super excited for the future of Gimp. I feel like 3.0 going to be a turning point for rhe software, sort of like Blender had with 2.8.

[-] dannoffs 2 points 1 year ago

I feel like people have been anxiously awaiting gimp 3 since I was in highschool and I'm 30

Waiting for kolourpaint to have layers too

[-] Vilian@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

they could make like kwrite, where they take kate and remove some funcions, but with krita, couldn't this make easier to develop?
