I have photoshop downloaded, but have no desire to install it.

I find GIMP pretty bloated too. Paint.net is nice for Windows.

Wait untill you'll have to draw a circle

Select a circle using the ellipse selection tool. Shift constrains it to a circle selection.
Select - Border
Swipe a brush across it.

What's so difficult about this?

NOW measure the circumference and diameter of your circles using GIMP... ya can't do it

>anyone knows the feeling GIMP is literally better at this point simply because it's not bloated as hell
Literally no. Even rudimentary things are a pain to do in GIMP if you're coming from photoshop. And anyone who isn't 12 years old probably already knows how to use photoshop..

any visual representation of a circle is going to be imprecise because we can't actually draw an infinitesimal point. This is as close as we can get. I just didn't bother changing the border selection on my previous drawings because they were to illustrate a technique.

thx, anon

But why would I waste my time in a raster graphics program doing vector graphics?

I can usually get by with Krita and Pinta these days.

i like using The GIMP with PS keyboard shortcuts. Just in case I ever have to use PS, my workflow won't be impacted too much.

just get the portable version from the pirate bay. just be careful not to give cyber aids to your pc.
