Don't you love it?
No need to pirate Photoshop if GIMP (FOSS) can do it for you and you can use this to make GIMP look like Photoshop
Also if you need to paint/do art, which photoshop can be really good for with custom brushes, use Krita, it's straight up better than photoshop for that in many way. Don't use GIMP for that, oh my god GIMP is trash at digital art, on top of the annoying UI.
I've been using Gimp for ages, but doesn't Photoshop simply outclass it in about a million different ways especially if you need to do something even slightly more serious with it
It outclasses it in the sense it can do things that neither program is designed for better than gimp. For instance, if you are trying to make digital art, both are bad options, but Photoshop is less bad. It also has advanced stuff gimp doesn't even have a shitty version of, like ai image manipulation, and crazy algorithms to do stuff like automatically delete fences and stuff.
This doesn't matter as much as you might think, if you need to use that kinda stuff chances are you fucked up when you took the picture, and it still won't look too good once it's fixed. It just makes unacceptably bad shots mediocre.
I sometimes use clip studio paint for stuff if I draw, it has a learning curve but if your not doing photo manipulation it can do the job and you can pick it up when it's on sale rather then pay a subscription like Photoshop
I think it squeezes precisely “the petit bourgeoisie” (lol, independent digital creators/freelancers), whose work has to pass some compatibility framework. For my own entertainment can still pirate shit
if you stop using adobe products years ago, you'll stop missing it
Yeah no need to pirate Photoshop if GIMP can do it for you
- Pirate
Can’t find shit about shit. :cat-confused:
Also guess workers can’t own their means of production in digital world as well huh
Soon we'll be renting our clothes and agreeing to terms and services and shit :ancap-good:
I know people dont like gimp but I've been using it for ages now and, honestly, it was such a chore to learn and get comfortable with that I'm completely turned off from the thought of learning a different FOSS alternative.
I think a company could contribute to GIMP/Krita (like what Suse or
Red HatIBM do with Linux already) and offer training or support. I could see somecompaniesco-ops switching to Linux fully if they were able to have a support/training infrastructure in place.There are ways to get GIMP to look like PhotoShop already, like PhotoGIMP. I think that should be a separate project to prevent lawsuits, though.
god, it’s taken me years to find my way around photoshop, and now that I’ve found my footing with it I don’t want to feel like a fucking moron giving gimp a second shot.
I have been pirating photoshop every year or two since like 2005. Kiss my piss.
Nope. Everything is now a license with an EULA. You’re only ever renting things, legally now. If I sell you a game, I’m actually transferring the license to access content.
Every company sees themselves as landlords.
I hope they don’t do with Acrobat. I’m still rocking X and it’s like 15 years old
Yeah hopefully it keeps getting better until you can ditch Windows
