The year of Linux on the desktop is closer. Linux reaches 3% of desktops

  • I love Linux but I've been hearing this song since 2002. I'd love for it to grow bigger but we should stop framing it as the year of Linux.

  • My whole point was only that I dislike that people call it an alternative to Photoshop. That's been proven by your post. I'm not trying to have a semantics contest here

  • So my point is still valid that GIMP is not an alternative to Photoshop. It would be like saying this screwdriver is an alternative to this toolset. People coming from Photoshop aren't looking at the singular goal of image manipulation.

  • Right so you've validated my point that it's not a Photoshop alternative.

  • Well these tools are in Photoshop and not GIMP. You can't just hand wave that away as not GIMPs fault.

  • Something I use a ton: smart objects, smart masks, smart filters. Non destructive actions where I can still edit the original and have all previous items applied in a separate file or view in real time.

  • It fills some of the same tasks.

    • Is there a place for TheNightFeeling content?

    Jump

  • From the original subreddit:

    The Night Feeling is the thoughtful nostalgic emotion you feel when you drive alone at night, or see a city skyline at dusk with the wind in your face. ------ It's a subreddit for the feeling you get when you're feeling lonely but at peace, thoughtful but melancholy, and homesick for something you can't quite remember.

  • I was with you until GIMP. If one more person lists it as an alternative to Photoshop I'm gonna lose it. It's UI is terrible, you have to watch a guide just to get started. Can't read PSDs in any viable way. I'm sure people use it just fine but to call it an alternative to Photoshop is just plain lying.

    Edit: the other thing I dislike about it being suggested as a replacement is that it assumes you work alone. Anyone on a team with people in PS will not be able to even attempt to use GIMP to get work done.

  • Yeah it's just hard sometimes. I try to strike a good balance between privacy and not making my life waaaay harder.
