Welp time to find Photoshop in the High Seas
Oh no... OP is from lemmy.world 💀
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.
Try opening these in a new tab and observe the difference:
Original Instance: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
When viewed through lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
If your instance did not block the piracy community you should be able to visit it:
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com (this will be viewed through your instance, if your instance is lemmy.world, there will be an error message)
Edit:

yeah, must suck for the world pirates. I am waiting for native transfer of accounts on lemmy.
Pirated Photoshop doesn't have the AI shit though which is sooooooo good
I just get my work to pay for my Adobe subscription
The struggle is real
"UMMM what the fuck is that, anon?"
"it's a great open-source software called mind your own fucking business"
Open inkscape Draw circle Export bmp Open as layers 😹
Why BMP. GIMP can deal with SVGs, no?
It can open SVGs as raster images, but I never managed it to look great. It's better to export to a BMP from an SVG editor.
The magic of Linux workflow.
“I don’t have photoshop”
Problem solved
a lot of school provide ps 'for free' and expect everyone to use it
I see you went to reach schools... Lucky you, mine didn't even provided toilet paper
In that case, anon should have just figured out a way to run it before the class started
A student being proactive?
Where do you think we are?
It’s a joke
you can't draw a circle in gimp?
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.
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!
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.
Lmao this is the better of the two pastas
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.
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.
Seriously though, why there is no shape tool in Gimp?
Because it's a UX mess.
I stopped using GIMP and started using https://www.photopea.com/. You get most Photoshop features for free (ad-supported) in a familiar interface and without having to install a large slow application.
Photopea is amazing. Its 90% a clone of PS and is sooo much better than gimp.
I used it today to remove a white background on some of our icons to get a transparent png.
It was as easy as going i to the layer options, blend options, and drag the slider. It even has the option that you can hold alt and split the slider in 2 to get transparency blend as a gradient.
This would be a nightmare in gimp, and photopea does it non destructively. And since its a web app you dont even have to install anything. Amazing.
How much does Photoshop cost now?
$20 a month, no way to buy lifetime subscription, $50 a month to get all adobe products
SaaS
The end times basically
You can't own a copy and you rent your usage by the month.
The Enshitification continues
You’ll Own Nothing and Be Happy.
It's free if you want it to be
