Gimp is just a pile of steaming human shit inside your boots

gimp has a learning curve but its totally worth it, just take a deep breath and just sacrifice those 10 horus to git gud

why do I never see Krita recommended? The GUI is much more intuitive and PS-like, has the features and generally looks good, outside of the welcome dialog making it look like a weeb/furfag wet dream

>When someone recommends cuckold open source over proprietary software.

>as an alternative to photoshop
Depends.
If it's just some retard wanting to do basic shit but he thinks he needs to pirate photoshop for it then yes, Gimp is a viable alternative.

Krita is for drawing. Photoshop for Image manipulation.

We don't describe free software as an “alternative” to proprietary, because that word presumes all the “alternatives” are legitimate and each additional one makes users better off. In effect, it assumes that free software ought to coexist with software that does not respect users' freedom.

We believe that distribution as free software is the only ethical way to make software available for others to use. The other methods, nonfree software and Service as a Software Substitute subjugate their users. We do not think it is good to offer users those “alternatives” to free software.

that's not a black and white distinction. Krita can do plenty of simple image manipulation
