What's wrong with GIMP?

This doesn't help at all

Nuffin.

Nothing much wrong with it. Unfortunately it's been cast too often as a direct replacement for Photoshop, which it isn't.
>>
>>60737079
Nothing. Since I discovered they're anti-SJW it became my favourite image manipulation program :^)
>>
For a free photoshop alternative absolutely nothing

It's just a bit confusing when you used both Gimp and Photoshop

It's completely and utterly unintuitive.
>>
>>60737079
It's not Photoshop therefore unusable.
>>
>>60737079
The UX is terrible
Easiest example: All the transform tools could be combined into one tool.
Text tool is mediocre.
Still no CMYK support last I checked
Nondestructive editing still not supported
If they don't hurry up, Krita is going to start beating them at image manipulation and it isn't even made for that.

Using GIMP is complete hell.

It already does.

>>60737291
>>60737326
What can Gimp do that Krita can't do right now - because I'm ready to make the jump to Full Krita

Perhaps if they spent more time making a FUCKING working gui instead of politicking - we wouldn't have near constant "why is GIMP bad" threads
>>
>>60737326
>>60737331
I like Gimp's selection tool more, the lasso can handle more than one stroke before creating a selection.
Also if you think Gimp's text tool is bad, Krita's is almost completely unusable. It's easier to export and do your text in inkscape. This is supposedly getting fixed soon though.
>>

This, and it looks like complete ass

Say what? We have been having Intel vs AMD threads more than anything.

It's designed for people who like programming and know nothing about art or what is needed to make it.

The text tool is particularly infuriating.

>>60737456
I don't understand why they made it that way too. I can get behind design differences if there's a logic behind it. What were they thinking?

Aren't most raster edits destructive? I can't remember a program with this feature
>>
>>60737079
Nothing really, I just wish it had a built in patch tool that was a easy to use as Photoshop's, and that I could get pressure sensitivity to work with my Huion h610. It's honestly probably a driver problem though.

You can just download CS2 Photoshop. It's free right now. So what's the point of GIMP?
>>
>>60737914
>1. Matter of preference
I've always used GIMP, when I was forced to use Photoshit the UI was the most counter-productive piece of shit I've ever had to deal with.
The reverse probably applies to Photoshop babbys.

We have to make a fork (exact clone) of GIMP called "GIMP Other Acronym To SJW Environment"
>>
>>60738346
It's not. You have to own a license to legally use it. So might as well pirate the latest version.
>>
>>60738346
It's not free. It's illegally gratis.

>>60738346
Did not know this, thanks.
