I recommend Gimp as the free replacement of Photoshop.

Oh shut up..
Do you have any idea how many dank memes I produced with GIMP?
Everyone knows the real pros use this

post one dank meme you made in gimp
>>55568232
Sorry, your dank frog memes doesn't need pooinlooshop. You are just too stupid fro GIMP
>>55568232
Unless you want a professional image editing, gimp is more than you need.
I always laugh too. The only free program that comes close to photoshop is Krita, and that is only for digital painters.
>>55569459
gimp is garbage. It's even in the name. Last I checked, it can't even crop + resize, which many people would make use of for making wallpapers and shit.

Not him, but I made this dank meme in Gimp
I can't find a /b/ archive right now, but I once checked the ranking for /b/'s image reposts, and it was in spot #20 with over 3k reposts if I remember correctly
Gimp's meme potential confirmed.

Can GIMP do this?

I think it's stupid to try to mimic photoshop. Photoshop is used everywhere. Digital painters use it, photomontages are made with it, some people probably do vector work in it, etc. etc. Trying to mimic that is very anti-Linuxy. It's much better to leave the digital-painting stuff to Krita, the vector work to Inkscape, something like batch image manipulation to ImageMagick wrappers and have GIMP just fill some other niche. What that niche would be, I have no idea.
>>55569819
Case in point, obviously GIMP can't do that (I assume). But Blender can, and it probably does a much better job at it. Why does GIMP (or photoshop, for that matter...) need to be able to do that? It's stupid.
>>55569481
Gimp works for me. It must suck to be retarded.
>>55569819
it can even animate it, pic related.

>>55570167
Apparently you can open it up in GIMP, save it to a .psd and then it opens up in photoshop without any problems.

Paint Shop Pro is and will always be the best.
Adobe Photoshop doesn't even allow you to drag and drop into the program (until you meticulously build a workspace first). Also, lots of useless features. I only goto photoshop for extra detailed transparency effects. That's when photoshop automation overshadows its clunky UI.
>>55570272
>Adobe Photoshop doesn't even allow you to drag and drop into the program
Have you ever used Photoshop?
lmao
>>55570263
When I installed the theme, the start button was still default (and bigger than the task bar itself, overlapping into the window)
So I just made my own real quick and didn't bother changing it since
>>55570272
you could not be any more deluded.
>>55570292
>Have you ever used Photoshop?
definitely have. I have it installed right now.
You need to create a workspace and then copy/paste the layer onto it.
Paint shop pro is automatic. Literally small shit like this overcomplicated when its done by Adobe. It caters to snobs.
>>55570311
>You need to create a workspace and then copy/paste the layer onto it.
You don't need to, at least not in the CC one.
>>55570272
PaintShopPro x6 is the worst piece of shit that I ever used. Even mspaint.exe is better than that abomination.
>randomly stops working for 30 seconds because it's auto saving
>unstable as shit

I'd use GIMP over every other raster image editor.
>>55568232
gimp is best because free software. The power to modify it to whatever you want is great.
>>55570293
Lad you've been in /g/ for too long
Lel
>>55570435
Well no one has been able to modify it into Photoshop, so I'll keep using Photoshop, thank you.
>>55570311
Are you using Photoshop version 4 or some shit? Drag and drop has existed since forever, dude
>>55570293
Bring dich um
>>55570311
No you fucking don't. It automatically creates a new layer. I'm trying to make fun of you by saying "we're not talking about x" but even ms paint supports drag and drop
>Photoshop
You twats literally only make memes and those bubble things to make chicks in bikinis look naked. Don't even pretend otherwise
>people in this thread unironically use GIMP's GUI
Use gimp for command line automation, use photoshop for everything else.
>>55570876
But PS has a shitty GUI.
>>55570792
No, I actually work with UI design and Photoshop has been invaluable for me.
>>55570896

>>55570913
That's great, but what about you?
Nobody in the industry uses GIMP
It's shit and doesn't even support Pantone
Hobbyists can use it sure but in the real world it's a fucking joke
>>55571434
I use GIMP and coreldraw x6.
>>55571447
Are you in the industry?
>>55571536
No, but I'm learning graphic design at school.
>>55571556
Do they teach Corel and GIMP there? Are you American or European?
>>55570167
Yes?
>>55571570
We have PaintShopPro x6, GIMP and photoshop (but only on some computers) at our disposal in the class. I use GIMP, because I really like it and because it's free software. It's a school in Poland, and the funny thing is that we got new computers last year, and we didn't get new monitors with them, but the IT group got new 1080p monitors, so I'm stuck working on a 1440x900 monitor. At least it's not TN like the new ones.
>>55570727
You can't expect people to do your work for you for free just because you demand it. If you want people to do your work, you need to be prepared to pay the cost.
>all those GIMP niggers
Paint.NET is far superior to GIMP, and if something isn't available like outlining Text, just download a Plugin and it works.
Paint.NET > GIMP
>>55571710
Photoshop can do anything and everything GIMP, Paint.net or Corel can with zero plugins.
Only serious challengers to Adobe are Affinity Photo and Krita
>>55571710
It's apparently optimized for drawing, not for editing pictures, and it isn't released on GPL, so it's shit.
GNU software > non-free software
>>55571741
Never said it was better than Photoshop, just saying that's superior to GIMP.
>>55571746
Well, I can do anything with Paint.net, including editing pictures, most of my artwork is done in Paint.net, and the learn curve is a lot smaller and less of a hassle to work with than GIMP.
non-free software > GNU software

GIMP is trash for NEETs.
>>55568232
I know. Doesn't it make you absolutely rage when you discover software A form and function is not exactly the same as software B?
I killed 3 innocent bystanders the other day when I had to use chrome instead of firefox.
Totally different buttons and shit.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>55571856
He is the hero /g/ deserves.
I've used both. Started with windows and pirated photoshop. Discovered linux. Used mostly linux. Tried gimp. Tried PS in wine. Often got mad when I couldn't figure out how to do something in GIMP. Eventually learned. Now I use gimp only and hate PS. Baby duck syndrome sucks.
>when someone recommends photoshop as an alternative to GIMP
LMFAO :ok_hand:
As always retarded /v/edditors missing one important point
GIMP is

>free as in beer
>works on every platform
>extensively plugin-friendly with large plugin base
>able to achieve 95%+ of what Photoshop can do.
The fact that YOU consider GIMP as a rival software to photoshop is already a big success for GIMP because it's nowhere close to having the developer base of Photoshop and has nowhere near the money put behind it.
GIMP is the jack of all trades, master of none.
You wouldn't download expensive, huge videoediting software meant for commercial use just to put together a video slideshow for your parents
You wouldn't use solidworks just to make a simple 2D project to make on a laser cutter
It's the perfect solution for amateurs who need to edit an image file once every two days ie. majority of the planet.
Reconsider your life.
