[Anonymous No.2008661]

Gimp sucks balls. It was made by committee and that shows at every level of the UX. And the documentation is written retarded like. Never expect a cluster of geeks to understand an art.

Adobe Photoshop has a lot of crap surrounding its core editing abilities. Which is the only good part about the software. This core was developed with professionals testing the software. Old school photographers from such organizations like Professional Photographers of America, National Geographic, the American Society of Cinematographers, etc. These people were the ones that helped make photoshop fit standards so it could be considered an industry standard.

Gimp had some guy who moonlights as a photograper start a chat with a bunch other software junkies to talk about how they should try better to make gimp more Photoshop like.

Gimp sucks because it is has 3 design flaws:

1. It tries too hard to be like Photoshop, and without understanding what Photoshop was trying to do originally.

2. It is made with a programmer's mindset and a programmer's interpretation of a professional photographers mindset.

3. It is developed towards output and NOT process. It's coded to achieve an effect.

Except that requires an annual commitment. Without the annual commitment it's 30$. And if you miss a payment the software is locked and you have to pay the remaining year to unlock it. Oh, and canceling is a bitch. You have 30 days or you're locked in for good. Essentially CC is another contract in the form of a bill you can't escape, like your cable, mobile, and internet.

> the best version of Photoshop
Photoshop stopped being innovative since CS4, since then any new technology was come from Adobe acquiring other software companies. Every year with photoshop the top feature has been "enhanced performance" The basic features that artist use in photoshop can be found widespread in other programs. The only thing that really sets photoshop apart is its editing capabilities. But that is really only a matter of workflow for most competent artists.

Adobe originally put out CC to protect their infrastructure, but after a while it looks like it's here to protect it's monopoly. The software bloats with each new version and nothing of real accomplishment or improvement can be said about it. It's like the prize fighter who wins the belt. He loses that vigor he had before. The routine winning with extraordinary athleticism and showmanship is replaced by an overly cautious fighter who runs the clock to get a collected TKO from bias judges. That's photoshop today, a tired old program that has stopped listening to what artist need and want. All it does now is use the term "industry standard" as a defense (in an unregulated market, mind you.)

Open source has potential. Unfortunately it is rarely met. And the rarest of the rare is meeting the expectations of artists. There are 3 big problems has to why open source sucks for artist based in tradition:

1. It's really made for other geeks, and not so much artists. Development is spurred by like-minded individuals, 99.9% of whom are computer science people well before they are art people.

2. Unreliable. Let's face the truth. Most of the programs supposedly geared towards artists are cluster fucks of R&D, innovations, and documentation.

3. Windows support is abysmal. Most young artists don't even know what a distro is, let alone can afford an OSX machine loaded with top of the line wacom gear. Instead they have a budget machine with a budget tablet using the one OS the open source community avoids like a leper-- Windows.

If this was about in other kind of programs, I would be completely wrong. Open source has made big contributions in things like 3d, video editing, raster and vector editing, and graphics compression. But when it comes to painting and drawing on the computer, open source is a fucking failure.

I most certainly does not do this. Yes, an image editor trying to be better than another image editor will likely achieve similar flows and create similar tools, but familiarity is a big deal for people. Besides, this complaint also isn't even founded. Trying to hard to be the best isn't a valid complaint. Different does not always equal good.

>2. It is made with a programmer's mindset and a programmer's interpretation of a professional photographers mindset.

Also unfounded. There's plenty of spill between those two fields especially when it comes to effects. Comparing a people to another people while completely ignoring single aspects of each person is disrespectful and naive.

If this complaint stems from the "UX", then I don't know what to tell you, because while there is plenty of people that will tote objectively good and bad user experiences, at the end of the day, it's completely subjective.

>3. It is developed towards output and NOT process. It's coded to achieve an effect

Half-truth. GIMP's core philosophy is right in its name: image manipulation. Much of its tools are centered around manipulating images, not so much creating them from scratch. However, Photoshop is also like this, so it's not necessarily a valid complaint if your point is that GIMP, and, by inheritance, free software is shit because it focuses too much on output and not on workflow to achieve said output, that you are blind to the same thing occurring in paid software.

Yes it does. GIMP is routinely promoted as a free alternative to photoshop. The communities silence seems to endorse that.They even have a modified version called GIMPshop.

The GIMP development community is made up of volunteers with a strong background in the computer sciences. That's with all open source projects. Thier mode of thinking isn't always in line with artist's. Deal with it.

>Half-truth. GIMP's core philosophy is right in its name: image manipulation.
That's bullshit. GIMP manipulates with a monotonous tit-for-tat strategy. You waste more time clicking steps trying to figure out which steps to do in what order to figure out what exactly you can manipulate just so you know how to manipulate the image in the nearest way to what you originally wanted to. In others words you waste time trying to figure out how GIMP manipulates on it own terms.

At least with Photoshop there is a cohesiveness across the tools. I don't need to understand what exactly each tool does because there is some overlap between what each tool can do and how it operates. It's extremely flexible for a variety of users. I can go into photoshop with very little knowledge about it and think like an artist and not like an "digital image manipulationist".

"GIMPshop" from GIMPshop.com is a 100% UNmodified version of GIMP that is provided by third-party to install bloatware.

Anything pushing GIMPshop as a viable fork is insane.

>Their mode of thinking isn't always in line with artist's. Deal with it.

GIMP has countless hours poured into volunteer testing by real artists who report their problems and get them fixed. In fact, this was how a lot of features were implemented (single-window mode was a huge step in the right direction)

Besides, you're naive to think that someone can only be a programmer or an artist, and the they are mutually exclusive.

>That's bullshit...

The concept of forking is to enable developers to make completely different software with a similar code base as well as add on to a piece of software if need be.

They effectively become two separate pieces of software with likely very similar documentation.

>a fork that was good to begin with stopping development suddenly

It wasn't sudden. Moschella was indirectly harassed by someone that effectively stole his brand for personal profit over the course of a year. You'd quit too if the brand you made for free was stolen and used to peddle crapware - and the person doing so was making profits.

>I'm not hearing much any professional accolades or achievements outside GIMP's own community of shills

First off, you can't shill free gratis software. No one is paying anyone to do this shit.

Second off, this whole argument was started because you said GIMP was shit, not because artists can't use it. Let me spell this shit out for you: PAINTING IS OUT OF GIMP'S CORE PHILOSOPHY AND SCOPE. USE MYPAINT OR KRITA IF YOU WANT TO PAINT SHIT. GIMP IS AN IMAGE MANIPULATION TOOL. IT IS MEANT TO DO WHAT PHOTOSHOP WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSE TO DO: SHOP PHOTOS. In fact, GIMP follows this core philosophy more than Photoshop does.

I use Linux so I use Gimp once in a while for photoediting. But I really don't like it. The feeling is to use a truck.

And also to do something simple like rotating and resizing pictures is still so awkward.

But at the end is a software that has only 2 programmers working on it full time and 1 working during part time. It's obvious that Photoshop is better.

As a painting program it was cool for blending with that hack called gimp painter.

Krita looks like the most powerful tool for digital painting, though on Linux my brush lags too much and I think it's not a problem of Krita itself, but of xorg or whatever ubuntu uses now.

At the end I use and like Mypaint. It's a light simple program. But very intuitive and easy to use.

>They are similar because they attempt to achieve similar results.
That's the big problem. It's developed to make certain results. (and misses on a lot of them) GIMP doesn't respect my creativity.

>Not an argument. That's an opinion.
My opinion is my argument. And my reasons have already been stated, which can be summarized as followed:
GIMP sucks

I mostly use GIMP. I prefer it.

I don't think there's much difference in the GIMP vs Photoshop capabilities at this point. You can do the same things with both.

SAI and Manga Studio.

Sai for lines, painting and coloring.

MS for all the rest.

the thing about softwares is that you can load many of them onto your pc computer. this means you need not be limited to one programme or another, and you don't need to be a hacker (desktop computer expert) to do it!

I use artrage, manga studio, maya, mspaint, paint tool sai,photoshop and zbrush for the creation of digital art works. They're all suited to different elements, so to make my life easier I use the best tool for the job!

What's Maya?

[Anonymous No.2016673]

>>2016661
sketching, letering, panels, vectorial work like baloons, gradients, texturing, patterns.

basically all the rest.

they both export to .psd, so they go pretty well with each other.

It's 3d software similar to 3dstudio max, I just use it for building armatures for zbrush or editing zbrush stuff in certain instances. It could also be useful for working out lighting, although I personally don't use it for that.

[Anonymous No.2016682]

Oh. I am no good with 3d programs. I don't find it enjoyable. Maybe because I never liked clay or pottery. I wish I was more comfortable with Photoshop. I know there are lots of capabilities, but I just feel like if I use it, I am expected to have a masterpiece out of it. I feel like it is made for "creating imagines" and redefining them. I use paint tool sai and clip studio paint. I use them both equally, depending on what I'm in the mood to use.

Wow, what an ass.

It's true that GIMP has its problems but it's also obvious that you didn't even try to use it and that you're demonizing it in denial of your own incompetence.

Krita has a furry mascot and the guy who made it is... well,

BRILLIANT

[Anonymous No.2017935]

Not everything he draws is a robot.

And the most important part about being a furry is identifying as such. You're not a furry unless you want it.

BTW, this was made in Krita too.
