- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.

in Windows.

4. No recent reposts

I feel like it would be helpful to include the text of their post rather than just the title:

I think it’s also worth giving the correction that there is a font selection dropdown with previews in GIMP. It’s to the left of the font input box.
I use gimp but OP isn't wrong. Doing a stroke on text is mindless in Photoshop and very convoluted in gimp.
GIMP needs the Blender treatment honestly. Inkscape too. That would cover the vast majority of what I do art-wise.
Inkscape has been a lifesaver many times, but it's packed like a shit in a bag.
I can't believe they still use the old file selection on windows without a path input box. I literally can not open a file from my network drive. It doesn't even remember the last path!
The easiest workflow I found is to just copy projects to downloads for editing.
Besides other things.
What's wrong with Inkscape? It's meant to be a vector graphics editor
Lmao tried to make a meme, cant because addicted to adobe.
Gimp 3 might clear some of that up we will see
I hear good things about Krita.
From my amateur experience Krita is really nice for drawing, painting and sketching, especially if you have a graphic tablet, as it bundles commonly used features and makes them easily accessible.
But it is by far not a sophisticated image manipulation program such as GIMP, which comes with a plethora of more features you'll probably not use if you're just doing some "typical Krita stuff".
I think the better use is create with Krita, retouch with GIMP.
I found I could get Krita to work well with my Wacom tablet easily while Gimp was a mess for it and I never did figure that out... So I used Krita when I needed to draw, but for most everything else I found Gimp easier to get things done
