What does /ic/ think of GIMP?

>>2666245
bare bones photoshop. It's biggest sin is not having good brushes, if you are going to use it you need to customize the shit out of it

But unless you are /g/, you are not going to enjoy doing it. Go for krita if you want a free/open-source alternative, go for photoshop if you just want photoshop, go for gimp id you enjoy your /g/ niche experimenting with shit, go for one of the 471264246 programs for drawing if you just want a drawing software (sketch autodesk, corel painter, etc)

Krita is better for painting and drawing than GIMP.

>>2666245
I prefer it over Krita and MyPaint when I'm using Linux. Its brush engine is worse and it lacks a lot of features other programs have, but it does what I need it to do, is more stable, and I like the oldschool GUI (>>2665190). I dual boot Windows for Clip Studio Paint for serious stuff.

Literally the worst art software.

I basically grew up with gimp. I liked it

>>2666245
I agree with those other people. Krita is also free and pretty much better. Nicer interface, brushes, etc.

If you're a beginner it's more than enough.

Use it if you have a weak PC.

It should not be considered an art software, take the brush our of the logo and I would have no problems with it

>>2666245
I use it for designing posters all the time. Depends on what you're trying to do with the program, it's more ham sufficient for some projects

>>2666866
The transform/warp tools suck in Krita

The name says it all.
It's the chained-up-in-the-basement freak of all graphic tools.

>>2666245
A basic graphics program that fell behind the curve a long time ago, not recommended. I use it for typesetting and such just because it's what I'm used to using but it's by no means optimal

if this guy can draw with GIMP then you can too!

>>2666245
I actually use both Gimp and Krita.
I use Gimp to edit photos and Krita for painting/drawing.>>2668573

in the end its all fundies, no software will make you better

but everyone uses photoshop because its just the easiest

>>2668658
Do you use Ganoo slash Leenux, too?
You'd be a hero among the /g/tards if you did.
