YIKES!

yeah

>>7647933 (OP)
Yep. Gimp sucks

>>7647942
>sucks
I do not think you understand like try using it for 4 or 6 projects and actually finish something in it.

Like literally 13 level of hell.
MS Paint for windows 95 is better. WTF?! How can this even be a thing?

Like how is the pen detection this level of bad.
This is not a hardware or skill problem since others confirm this to be true.

They added and combined some features with the recent updates which made it 120% harder to use than 10 years ago. Freetardation and it's shittiest.

???? !!!!!
WHY? HOW? Is this program next level trolling?

>>7647947
>I do not think you understand like try using it for 4 or 6 projects and actually finish something in it.

Correct. I got annoyed by it and stopped using it far sooner.

>>7647933 (OP)
You're using it wrong

It's not for art retard

Krita cult is really creepy. I don’t see why they kept making threads like this.

idk mang it just werks for my 5 frame pixel animation

>>7647988
correct.
GIMP is a photo/image editing tool
It's GREAT for cleaning up scanned images or editing memes and shit, has some cool filters.

It's terrible for drawing.

Krita is for drawing and painting, and generally lacks all these features. You use them in tandem. Like how making a robust mini-spreadsheet out of tables in Word is ass, so you just use Excel and then import it into the document.

The "everything in 1 program" mentality is a recentism.

>>7647988
>>7648060
>GIMP is a photo/image editing tool
0) Playing word games I see!
1) It has a pencil/paint brush so why is its detection this level of shit? There is no going around this either admit that your tool is shit or remove these tools/
2) Other programs like photoshop have this, why can the retarded devs not grasp that people want to do X?

3)
>>7648060
>cleaning up scanned images or editing
>Krita is for drawing and painting, and generally lacks all these features.
Dude. Krit literally is better for photo editing then GIMP. Like explain this!

Krita = non destructive effects in a layer system
GIMP = all effects are permanent and applied immediately like it is 1994!

PS: Krita has its own retardation like the text tool sucks ass despite this retarded app being over 10 years old.

Like WTF FOSS! WTF!?

>You use them in tandem
Yea I suggest you separate every krita tool and every gimp tool into like 30 different programs and you tell me how it feels like using that shit.

>he "everything in 1 program" mentality is a recentism.
See above. I love to see you try to use the only rotation app and hen switch to the only Gaussian blur app and then switch to the only pencil tool app.

>>7647987
>You're using it wrong
1) Why don't you show the world how to really use it? Mr GIMP PRO?
2) It is not me it is literally everyone making things in gimp takes up 200% - 500% more time then Photoshop.

Yes GIMP can crop pictures and add text however anything above that is one big failure.

https://youtu.be/K5NLG4MtJ10?t=1244

Why did the devs not add these improvements that are needed? What was even in the latest update of this shit program?

Remember how the devs insisted its 3 window interface is great for years decades! Until they finally listened to the community and implemented the one window UI as a hidden option and then everyone turned it on and they made it the default and this was literally the only update worth installing in the last 7 years!

Oh look there is an update for gimp! New update everyone! UPDOOT GIMP!
WTF does that even give us?
>No smart objects
>No shape tools
Why even install it?

>>7647933 (OP)
been using gimp for years. plenty of things i can accomplish in it i cannot do in any program i use to create art. its for a different kind of art, if anything. intensive photo editing and post processing and some slightly more technical cases that wouldnt warrant very specific software like blender or a cad program, try using it for photobashing, editing, cleaning up your scans, etc. if i wanted to casually draw id use literally any other program (though its not hard to draw in gimp at all if you want to abandon most modern comforts and learn a thing or two about how to set up a pen… its hard). i dont learn photoshop out of stubbornness since ive already adjusted to gimp over the years, its capable of mostly the same shit. also OP i made the mistake of buying a tablet once, sticking to mice and finger drawing cause im stubborn, i can relate!! though nobody believes me when i say that

>>7649165
Draw a picture and post the video of you drawing it.
>though its not hard to draw in gimp at all if you want to abandon most modern comforts and learn a thing or two about how to set up a pen
None of this was needed for my $2 pencil I got in some random place!

> sticking to mice and finger drawing cause im stubborn, i can relate!! though nobody believes me when i say that
9999/10 Trolling, beyond infinity!

>>7649175
> 9999/10 Trolling, beyond infinity!
case in point: though you will realize that an artist is the sum of their experience and knowledge, not their tools. even if i was trolling, mouse drawing isnt that far fetched. all the “uncs” did it, pal!

>>7649147
>Playing word games I see!
This is like asking why a pipe wrench fucks up a bolt head. Yea it's a wrench, but it's for a different purpose.
>It has a pencil/paint brush so why is its detection this level of shit
The defaults are just awful and GIMP's menus for adjusting them are somewhat confusing. You likely have set up brushes in some other problem in a way that suits you better already.
>Other programs like photoshop have this, why can the retarded devs not grasp that people want to do X?
Well adobe has a bajillion dollars to invest for rapid development. If bugs occur they get fixed before it's pushed out or fixed with a patch rapidly if they somehow push one live. With GIMP it's much slower, they have to be wary.

It's also the kind of program where you're expected to read the documentation (RTFM) to understand it. Quite a few are like that - Krita, CSP, blender, and to an extent photoshop are as well if you want to do anything beyond basic doodling. It's just that most are more-intuitive because they hold your hand a bit better.
>Krit literally is better for photo editing then GIMP
It isn't. GIMP has very precise control over things like rotation, color correction, has a fantastic healing brush and clone stamp tool, and the layers you create have to actually be manually anchored. You can work outside the canvas and do a lot of other crazy shit. It basically does ONLY what you want and nothing more.
If an analogy makes it make more sense: GIMP is like a manual milling machine. Krita is like a dremel.

>last bits bitching about having to have a workflow
3D art, animation or even just regular video creation would drive you absolutely insane man. I'm sorry but that's just how digital art works. The more you load into one program the more difficult it becomes to maintain and the more powerful a PC you need to run it. SAI only runs on a toaster because it lacks advanced editing tools, it's focused on drawing and painting.
Even Adobe splits everything up.

Nice cope.
Go and .... I say try using gimp however why not try finger painting only no brushes no tools only fingers and paint..
>It is not the le tools
The statement of a moron cuddled by a industry that never released true shit to him!

>>7647933 (OP)
gimp isn't even a drawing program, wtf are you doing?

>>7649534
not op, I drew in gimp all the time and it was good software for what it is, I switched to clip because I wanted to animate but I got the shitty pro version with a 24 frame limit. Gimp has really great brush feel and its got enough in it to be good

>>7649534
>>gimp isn't even a drawing program, wtf are you doing?
See: >>7649147

>b-b-b-b-
It has a pencil tool that is literally ass. It is on the same level like a the select tool literally missing 40 pixels to the left always.

Fix this or delete it!

Explain how MICROSOFT word is a better paining program then GIMP.

NEITHER IS WORD!

>>7647933 (OP)
gimp is a gimped version of whatever you're trying to use it for

>>7649558
>gimped
This is not how you spell "a one way ticket to a nervous breakdown"!

Usability level:
Like being tortured by Satan in hell.

I literally rather finger paint then use gimp.

>>7649579
no skill, gimp is power, you must come to understand that power

You have so many options that aren't Krita or GIMP. Paint.net, Photopea, Sketchbook Autodesk, Medibang, FireAlpaca, Mypaint, Artweaver. I mean fuck, you can even just pirate shit like CSP or PS. There's no reason to use those programs

I use GIMP often to prepare scanned or photographed artwork for printing. Occasionally use it to color line drawings. I'm content with it. Installs in a moment and runs on a toaster, and on Linux it starts up immediately. My last Photoshop install was a bloated mess.

If you're coming from other software, the float-anchor paradigm can take some getting used to. There are things I find clunky-- anything related to text or fonts. But I've worked with a fair number of hear-tearing open source programs (Scribus could be used at Guantanamo), so maybe I've learned to be patient with them.

>>7649626
*hair-tearing

>>7649605
Nobody ever mentions artrage or rebelle for some reason despite those being designed for artists rather than as general raster image programs lol

>>7649753
Those are paid and not really what I think OP was looking for. Though if we wanna list more painterly software, Corel painter has a very good brush engine. I recently switched over to Rebelle, and while it's not as good, it's not as laggy. I can't say much about Artrage since I've never used that one

>>7649598
Demonstrate this power then by recording what you do in it.
No video no point.

I had been using gimp for years for photo editing before switching to photoshop, which is simply better in it's ease of use shortcuts and overall smoothness of how you use it. I started drawing and I was using Photoshop because that was what I was familiar with. Then I switched to Krita 4 months ago and you can set it up to work almost exactly like Photoshop with small retardation that eraser is one tool with a brush and you can't use different brushes on brush and eraser persistently. I haven't been editing any photos, but I still haven't been able to figure out how blending modes are supposed to work in Krita because they don't do shit when I switch them.
For photo editing
ps>gimp
For drawing

>>7650450
I ain't recording shiiiiii, only use gimp for doodles now

>>7650549
>only use gimp for doodles now
Using gimp for doodles is like getting a pencil nailed into your palm and expecting to draw.

>>7647947
No thanks. I use better programs

>>7647947
Correct. GIMP is absolutely terrible for pretty much anything

>>7647992
they gotta huff copium somehow

>>7647933 (OP)
What can you expect from pajeetware?

>>7647988
Basically this. I use GIMP for cleaing up my trad scans and it's as good as Photoshop.

>>7650918
gimp is great for drawing, you just suck, keep grinding brah

I will defend gimp until my dying breath, gimpers rise up

>>7647933 (OP)

GIMP is for frame-by-frame GIF editing. don't use it for drawing.
