That's not the issue though, Photoshop doesn't have a native Linux version.

Using wine to run heavy productivity apps can be very troublesome and buggy

Pirated Photoshop doesn't have the AI shit though which is sooooooo good

I just get my work to pay for my Adobe subscription

[–] Frub@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It doesn't? Lol

I pirated Photoshop just in case but genuinely haven't used it more than twice so idk

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Not the last I checked. Try content aware fill, does it give you the generate AI prompt?

[–] vox@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

AI stuff works on my copy of ps2021.
there's a limitation on amount of ai usage (per ip?) for signed off users tho

Open inkscape Draw circle Export bmp Open as layers 😹

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why BMP. GIMP can deal with SVGs, no?

[–] magikmw@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

It can open SVGs as raster images, but I never managed it to look great. It's better to export to a BMP from an SVG editor.

The magic of Linux workflow.

[–] counselwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 years ago (3 children)

you can't draw a circle in gimp?

[–] Dangdoggo@kbin.social 28 points 2 years ago

There's no "Shape" tool. You could just select a circular area in an empty layer and fill it though.

[–] Swiggles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You can, it is very unintuitive though. You draw the shape using the eilpse tool and set a border for the selection.

It's not hard, but there is really no way to figure this out without ever looking for a tutorial.

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's absolutely stupid design and more difficult than it needs to be.

I'll say it - Photoshop is infinitely more intuitive than gimp for the average person. Sure, if you are fucking determined, I'm sure you can figure it out eventually. You can even make it work. But if you say it is easier than Photoshop, you are wrong.

I love FOSS stuff but way too many people are delusional about the pros and cons of it. There are absolutely cons.

I stand with op.

[–] Swiggles@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

I don't believe that you can even figure out half of the things yourself if you are determined. There is no way you can use it without looking up tutorials for even basic things.

I fully agree in case my precious comment wasn't clear. It is a mess!

Ellipse select tool (E) with shift (and optionally ctrl) pressed after starting the drag -> Edit menu -> Stroke Selection

Gave me a stroke reading this, thanks Stallman.

For some reason I do find GIMP easier to use them photoshop tho

[–] looz@sopuli.xyz 64 points 2 years ago (10 children)

"Software I'm used to is easier for me than software I have no experience with."

What a fantastic insight.

[–] LogarithmicCamel@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You would imagine this to be obvious, but people who are used to Photoshop or Reddit complain all the time that Gimp or Lemmy are not as intuitive, as the other comments fully demonstrate.

I am the same. I tried Photoshop and bazillion of tools didn't help when making a simple picture, while GIMP could do that with relatively easier steps.

Edit: grammar, apologies.

Seriously though, why there is no shape tool in Gimp?

[–] warmaster@lemmy.zip 27 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Because it's a UX mess.

Gimp logic is a bit different from whatever logic a regular user is used to. It's easy to work with once you familiarize yourself with it, but if your intuition is trained on Windows products, you will need to readjust.

I stopped using GIMP and started using https://www.photopea.com/. You get most Photoshop features for free (ad-supported) in a familiar interface and without having to install a large slow application.

[–] spindrift@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Photopea is amazing. Its 90% a clone of PS and is sooo much better than gimp.

I used it today to remove a white background on some of our icons to get a transparent png.

It was as easy as going i to the layer options, blend options, and drag the slider. It even has the option that you can hold alt and split the slider in 2 to get transparency blend as a gradient.

This would be a nightmare in gimp, and photopea does it non destructively. And since its a web app you dont even have to install anything. Amazing.

[–] baronofclubs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nightmare is a bit hyperbolic I'd say. From memory, use the magic wand tool, select the white area. Selection menu, expand by 4 or 6 pixels. Colors menu, color to alpha, pick white. Done.

SaaS

The end times basically

You can't own a copy and you rent your usage by the month.

Really? I thought it's cloud based nowadays and therefore csn't be found on the high seas anymore.
