GIMP 2.99.12 Released - "A Huge Milestone Towards GIMP 3.0"

I also think Ps is just a piece of
obsolete trash, but I would go with Krita or even better Affinity Photo (yes it’s not
open source but it’s the best image editor today and the license is very cheap) rather than GIMP though.

Yes, Krita is another wonderful piece of software. Its goal is little different as far as I remember, but I wasn't using it lately, so I may be wrong.

Being fast is not everything… If the workflow sucks and that any advanced or pro artist gives up after trying an hour, it can very well be the fastest by 10 times, it still will be used by nobody in the end.

So those same "advanced or pro artists" learned how to use Photoshop in 1 hour? I would even question how advanced and pro they are if they fail to do even simple stuff in Gimp. Im none of those and learned to use Gimp long before there were youtube tutorials just by trial and error.

Yes Gimp can't cover all workflows that Photoshop does but it's slowly getting there. If you're doing web design for example it's very much capable.

Both Krita and GIMP have different uses imho.

GIMP is great if you need to:
- edit and crop photos
- separate image pieces into independent layers
- change colors
- photoshop Sean Connery into furry porn

Krita on the other hand is great for:
- drawing furry porn

I think a shotgun would be better in both cases

Krita is great put it is a paint and illustrator tool, GIMP is a image manipulation editor, they don't do the exact same things even though they overlap in many areas.

Meh... They don't do the exact same things but you can accomplish the same result with both... And krita as a way-better GUI... And some other tools also...
