If you don’t like it, buy a photoshop subscription instead, it’s a heap of big corporate greed, money drain intended, functional, held together with ai features and licensing scams full effort.
Everything in the cloud is their property. And everything works in the cloud, so. Yeah. Cloud software is awesome. Pay per month, everything you make isn’t your property. It’s double penetration without lube, while all you wanted to do is some photo editing or illustrating.
Piracy is the answer. Back in the days you would miss out on things when pirating, compared to the purchased version. Now you’re missing out when you pay, compared to piracy. Why would I pay to have more restrictions and less rights then when I pirate for free? When I get caught with an illegal copy of photoshop, whatever I created will still be my property. I’ll get a fine, but still have more rights then a paying customer.
It’s a fucking dystopian world we live in.
If the person who died in Disneyland due to their allergy never used Disney+ but would have illegally downloaded a Disney movie instead, the lawsuit wouldn’t have been rejected by Disney as they never lost their rights by agreeing to their terms of service.
I rather have the risk to get a fine for illegal downloading then to pay to lose my rights.
So whenever there’s an open source project, no matter how imperfect it may be, to help people achieve their goal without mega corporate rape, I wouldn’t dare say anything bad about it. I don’t want to pirate, I feel like I have no choice and open source projects like Gimp are a great alternative. Also, I don’t mind paying for something if it would become my property and I would keep my rights and privacy.
Nah, it doesn’t need to impress shareholders. It already is known as GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). If they were to rename it, it would lose its name recognition.
Nope, I’m really used to GIMPs workflow and would actually prefer if they didn’t change it. I don’t want to learn a whole new program for no benefit. If you really care go use Krita.
Install GIMP, Krita, or Inkscape instead
GiMP needs to die. It is a misbegotten heap of well-intentioned, functional, held-together-with-love-and-bubble-gum half effort

Also anything you make on it is Adobe’s to train their AI with

GIMP is great. I love to use it.
It’s not perfect, but it’s served me well over the past ten years.

fork it and make it better or pay someone else to or accept the downvotes for irrationality
It doesn’t need to die, it needs to be improved.
It’s like saying this app is kind of ugly. Let’s kill all the progress it has made and start over.
Gimp 2.x has improved and tbf gimp was never that bad it’s just that people that use Photoshop think only they should have an opinion.
Yeah, I’m not really the person to say anything about GIMP, I’ve been using Krita for as long as I’ve been on Linux.
My partner uses krita and she hasn’t used anything else. Hopefully it being open source gets her to move to Linux soon 🐧
It also needs a better name.
