Unironically: oh shit, for real? Like, actual MS.Paint, not that Paint 3D shit?

Actually pretty dope. I'll still probably go with Photoshop for anything beyond cropping a screenshot though since MS sat on their hands for too long on making MS Paint better, and now I've got habits.

Photoshop takes ages to open, though.

Photopea.com is pretty cool

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

... why? That sounds like extra work, does it do anything particular that Photoshop and MS Paint don't?

Unfortunately just for Windows 11 :(

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] IGuessThisIsForNSFW@yiffit.net 43 points 2 years ago

Tons of updates and features introduced over the past 20 years - I sleep.

Sorry, still not "upgrading" to Windows 11

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can upgrade to linux instead !

[–] YaketySax@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's my plan when Win10 gets too old. I've run Linux before (although not as my daily driver) so the only thing worrying me is choosing which distro...

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Go with fedora

[–] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Also support for transparent backgrounds

Onions have layers. Ogres have layers.

Bonzai buddy. It's been a while, I have not forgotten you.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I realized it was “BonziBuddy” like a month ago. I’m ok my mid 30s. I never knew it wasn’t “Bonzai”.

[–] YaketySax@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I only know because you just told me. What's a bonzi anyway?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Valid question, no idea!

Gimp rocks. It sucks they're constantly getting curb stomped by Adobe's legal team.

[–] 10EXP 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’m now curious about this but can’t find anything. Please help.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

They have a lot of trouble creating tools that aren't patented by Adobe/ photoshop so they have to use loop holes to get them out. It often leads to the UI complaints people have. It's not really note worthy, but legally they can't copy and paste the structure of photoshop, even though they're a lot like them. So their software tends to be unintuitive. If that makes sense. It's mostly the tool names and the UI.

It's specifically the tools that were created by Adobe that take a while to get implemented into GIMP. If someone makes a tool in a FOSS program, it's an open playing field. Sadly, they're mostly copying Adobe/ photoshop so they run into potential legal issues.

Gimp also struggles with layer/image fidelity, but that's more of a resources thing.

Imagine if Microsoft had sued all the other browsers that copied features of internet explorer.

Sometime later .. "Gimp does not have a tool for drawing lines or curves but one way to create a straight line effect is hold down shift when..."

Waiting for kolourpaint to have layers too

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

they could make like kwrite, where they take kate and remove some funcions, but with krita, couldn't this make easier to develop?

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago
