    I’m absolutely terrible with image editing software, but I use gimp on occasion.

    It’s so few and far between that I want to kill myself everytime I need to do something in it and can’t remember anything at all.

    be so dedicated and stubborn that you change the entire UI of another program instead of learning it.

    I want to say I don’t do this, but here I am using nano instead of vi.

      Sure, one could learn a new program, new UI, new plugins… Or you could use something that follows your conventions and do what you actually want to do; edit photos (or edit text without knowing the cryptic string to save it).

    I love GIMP in general, and I usually don’t mind learning new layouts and workflows and stuff. However, I am perplexed by GIMP’s default keyboard shortcuts. Like, shift-B for bucket fill, because they needed B for… paths? Scale is shift-T because they needed shift-S for shear of all things? Is shear a way bigger part of your everyday workload than scale? Also 3 different keys is entirely too many for the “Fit image in window” and “select none” shortcuts, I use those all the time.

    I’m just picking for fun though, GIMP is awesome and nothing could make me go back to Adobe lol

    This helps Photoshop addicts get out of Photoshop and into GIMP. That I can confirm myself (though I’m no Photoshop addict).

    Hmm. I’ll give this a whirl, have been running dual boot on my macs for years and kinda stuck with Mojave as it was the last macOS to run 32-bit code. Been sitting on my copy of PSCS3 since I bought it in 2007 and I have tons of custom brushes and really nifty plug-ins that I have been loathe to let go of. 19 years isn’t a bad run, I’ll be moving to Linux shortly on all my Macs, so it is finally about time to leap.

    Thanks for the link!
