I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.
I’ve played with it for a little bit, but at this point, I’m so far removed from print design, I gave up after kicking the tires. When my resume ceased to be able to get anywhere as a PDF’d INDD, I tucked tail and went back to Word.
I’ve never used Photoshop in my life, but use GIMP all the time. Think it has more to do with the workflow you’re accustomed to. Granted, a vi user would probably say the same thing lol.
You’ll still be able to get consoles and cloud stream. The real problem is that the power to create is being taken away from regular people.
That literally plays into the concept of big business having a monopoly
There’s a reason I’m still rocking CS6. Fuck you for wanting me to pay monthly.
Could just use GIMP at that point.
I’ve tried. SO many times. It’s just so damn clunky. I ended up using Krita (also FOSS) instead.
