I've been using 2 for a few years now.I have stockhom syndrome for it as I have a few others (like Kitra) but dealing with the 2 bumps and bruises for so long makes me want to stay with it. Maybe one day.

I'm considering switching to it, since Affinity keeps freezing my entire system with HA enabled and isn't getting any fixes anytime soon and Adobloat is just too much of a mess to use.

there is plenty of issues to be had with that business. but the blind hate by inexperienced idiots sometimes is indeed hilarious

Might be a dumb question, but what is stopping GIMP from just copying Photoshop's layout, UI, features, etc. completely? Can't be related to copyright if it's free and open source, right?
>>460476
Yeah I used to think some features were out of reach because of Adobe patents or something but then Photopea came out and has a bunch of Ps features that Affinity/GIMP/Pixelmator still don't have despite being a web app with less than half the dev time.

In terms of UI, nothing. There's even a patch made by the community called "PhotoGIMP" that completely remodels the Gimp UI to look like Photoshop, and some other things like shortcuts
I'm a newbie. I'm just trying to quickly edit images with a white background to a transparent one. I've done the free select tool and traced an image before (copy and paste to new image) but that takes way too much time. Fuzzy select is often perfect to select what I want to delete. I've tried following some tutorials with where they say to make an alpha channel and then select+delete but the image I export still has a white background. I got something to work by making that alpha channel, deleting the white, using a rectangular select and copy + pasting-as-new-image, but I imagine that there a way that is simple and doesn't require making a new image.

pretty bad
I'm trying to vertical flip a selection and it won't do it, only when i click layer in the tool options does it do it, but then it puts the flipped selection into a new floating layer, why? what does that mean?
why not just flip the selection which i can do in 2 seconds flat in Paint

same anon here, after 8 days, Gimp is awesome, 3.0, okay, could be a bit better sometimes in the interface but I don't use shortcuts yet, that could help. Also it crashes every once in a while so save your work often.
