Just a friendly reminder example for all those people who only ever heard of GIMP and not wanting to let go of their Adobe products because they don’t like GIMP. Krita deserves more wide spread attention. https://krita.org/en/features/

I think they are just trying to set expectations. A ton of people conflate digital painting and photo manipulation so if an app can’t do both like Photoshop they think it’s trash.

yeah, people bitch and moan about how gimp doesn’t do exactly what photoshop is. Forgetting that they also rep about how day to day life is simply about getting shit done, and doing the next thing in life. Ignoring the fact that they can literally just do this with adobe.

It’s such a weird take IMO. to sit there, and say that life is about suffering, but then the second you are presented with even a modicum of suffering, you go “no i can’t, it could not possibly be done, it is simply impossible, it is merely a pipe dream” knowing that they literally hold an antithetical view point.

Humans adapt and overcome, we went from being hunter gather society, to agrarian, to industrialized and commerce based society. You’re telling me you can’t stop using photoshop?

Switching to another program takes time, i would recommend those people to learn the program, and gradually switch to such programs.

yeah, don’t open it and expect to be immediately productive. It’s just not going to happen, if you feel the need to bitch about it go complain to adobe, they’re the ones creating this mess.

Yeah that’s stupid, don’t expect Krita and GIMP to be Photoshop clones, they are great programs that don’t need to mimic Photoshop in any way.

Besides, they are easier on resources than the goddamn photoshop.
