    Sorry, but no

    I used GIMP FIRST and almost all the shit people say about it being unintuitive were still true. I struggled with it and bitched to my Linux loving friend about it and he just laughed and said “yeah everyone says that”

      Agreed. I never took courses on either piece of software. At the age of 12, I tried both PS 6.0 and GIMP (whatever version was the latest in the year 2000). I found Photoshop to be considerably easier to use, and that’s what I’ve stuck with ever since. GIMP was at the time—and continues to be—completely and utterly unintuitive. It should have been completely rewritten from scratch over 20 years ago.

      PS is equally confusing ngl.

      Part of the problem with GIMP, is the same problem with PS, there are about a thousand different buttons you can click, and at any given time, 3 to 4 different menus you can select from to get to any given option. There’s just no good way to design a UI around that lmao.

      I was able to pick up PS more so than GIMP, but only because i had an instructor lmao. GIMP is just as bad, except for the fact that it doesn’t have adobe creative cloud, and it’s actually kind of usable as a result.
