That's not the issue though, Photoshop doesn't have a native Linux version.
Using wine to run heavy productivity apps can be very troublesome and buggy
did they ban that stuff over in lemmy.world?
Yeah. Banned due to liability of the admins getting sued by big corp for hosting. It was really fun reading both sides. Some users pissed and threatening to leave the server. Others agreeing with the decision calling the opposing users whiny and asking why did you even join one of the biggest servers then? 10/10 recommend reading the threads.
lemmy.world users are kind of NPCs tbh
wah!

Try opening these in a new tab and observe the difference:

When viewed through lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
If your instance did not block the piracy community you should be able to visit it:

yeah, must suck for the world pirates. I am waiting for native transfer of accounts on lemmy.
Apparently there are third party apps now that can do it somehow, but I don't know how reliable they are.
I just made a new account and delt with it. But yeah it was a pain

Pirated Photoshop doesn't have the AI shit though which is sooooooo good
I just get my work to pay for my Adobe subscription
"UMMM what the fuck is that, anon?"
"it's a great open-source software called mind your own fucking business"
Leaving me alone is free (not soybicycle free, North Korea free)
βI donβt have photoshopβ
Problem solved
a lot of school provide ps 'for free' and expect everyone to use it
In that case, anon should have just figured out a way to run it before the class started
Photopea or the mobile version of photoshop
For some reason I do find GIMP easier to use them photoshop tho
"Software I'm used to is easier for me than software I have no experience with."
What a fantastic insight.
You would imagine this to be obvious, but people who are used to Photoshop or Reddit complain all the time that Gimp or Lemmy are not as intuitive, as the other comments fully demonstrate.

I am the same. I tried Photoshop and bazillion of tools didn't help when making a simple picture, while GIMP could do that with relatively easier steps.
Edit: grammar, apologies.
This seems true though, Gimp uses the same (fairly complex) tools for most thing Photoshop has an own tool for. Have to commit Iβm not that experienced with PS though
Lmao this is the better of the two pastas
you can't draw a circle in gimp?
You can, it is very unintuitive though. You draw the shape using the eilpse tool and set a border for the selection.
It's not hard, but there is really no way to figure this out without ever looking for a tutorial.
It's absolutely stupid design and more difficult than it needs to be.
I'll say it - Photoshop is infinitely more intuitive than gimp for the average person. Sure, if you are fucking determined, I'm sure you can figure it out eventually. You can even make it work. But if you say it is easier than Photoshop, you are wrong.
I love FOSS stuff but way too many people are delusional about the pros and cons of it. There are absolutely cons.
I stand with op.
I don't believe that you can even figure out half of the things yourself if you are determined. There is no way you can use it without looking up tutorials for even basic things.
I fully agree in case my precious comment wasn't clear. It is a mess!
There's no "Shape" tool. You could just select a circular area in an empty layer and fill it though.
No. The meme was because there was a bug that made drawing some circles go all wonky.
GIMP 2 is utter dogshit in terms of user experience.
GIMP 3, the version that is supposed to make everything easier, hasn't been released yet. ^(it's been years and I have given up hoping)
The situation sucks, but there aren't that many developers working on GIMP in the first place. Certainly not as many as Photoshop.
Ellipse select tool (E) with shift (and optionally ctrl) pressed after starting the drag -> Edit menu -> Stroke Selection
Gave me a stroke reading this, thanks Stallman.
Yeah. Photoshop doesn't work on Linux. Even through wine.
Seriously though, why there is no shape tool in Gimp?
It's like a traditional martial art, you must first master arbitrarily complicated forms before, maybe, being able to make something useful of it it in ten years.
makes sense. same people who made emacs.
Gimp logic is a bit different from whatever logic a regular user is used to. It's easy to work with once you familiarize yourself with it, but if your intuition is trained on Windows products, you will need to readjust.

How much does Photoshop cost now?
$20 a month, no way to buy lifetime subscription, $50 a month to get all adobe products
Until recently their Creative Cloud subscription was $12. It includes Photoshop, 1TB cloud storage, Light room and a couple of smaller tools aimed at photographers. But it got pushed up to $20 because of inflation. My yearly subscription renewed a couple of months ago for the old price, so I'm lucky for now.
But it got pushed up to $20 because of inflation.
please stop propagating this bullshit. It got pushed because of greed.
