You just have to take the time to learn it. 6 months on and when I use Photoshop I find myself thinking "This is easier in Gimp", of course there are also times when I think, "Photoshop is better at this" and hope that Gimp catches on but they are not as numerous as you'd think.įrom my rant, just take it as I really like Gimp a lot now when I would only use Photoshop 6 months ago. Learning the different way layers work, the UI etc. So I went back to try Gimp, to start with it is a sharp learning curve because yes, it's different than Photoshop and looks at things from a different perspective.
I needed Photoshop 6 months ago but was unwilling to go their subscription model. Sort of how the win10 start menu was intended, but failed miserably to do.Ĭome on, it's just learning a different way of doing things. It shouldn't require an internet connection. Given that a lot of these functions are called the same, but are in different menus, a search/help system where you could type in the name would be amazingly useful. When you spend longer googling "How do I do x in y software" than actually doing it, there is a problem. Is it a tool? a plugin? Will be next to the related (but different) canvas size or maybe crop? What is the distinction that decides if something is under the edit menu or elsewhere?

Paintshop Pro (pre Corel) was the only one to get things right. In many image editing programs, you have to guess where the function you want to use is and hope the developers thought the same way. One of the reasons why I prefer nano the the behemoths that are Vi and EMACS is the discoverability of features. It goes to a sub folder three layers deep where I was last time.) I click on the top folder on the sidebar, and it does not show me the contents of said top folder. Just different enough that I loose orientation. Then there's the file explorer it has for "File Open" it has in it that behaves totally different (not even bad. Things like selection fields do not just show the options when I click on the little down arrow – I have to click AND HOLD, contrary to everywhere else on the system. Affinity Photo shows them context sensitive when needed.), and cannot remember that I turned it off (it remembers all other kinds of shit from last session. Things like that it shows layer boundaries by default (no other graphics program I use does. Each of these things are, by themselves, merely mild irritations. It's that there so many things it does slightly different than everything else. Re: Forget the geeky stuff, sort out the user experience.
