    In the past thirty years, I have done everything from photo touch-up to color science to retro pixel art with Gimp. It would probably be faster to list the things I haven’t done, if there’s anything.

    Hammering.

        also they didn’t mention anything that couldn’t be done in MS Paint lol. something Gimp still doesn’t have - Content Aware Delete which was added in 2010…literally 15 years ago.

          No, literally none of that could have been accomplished with MS Paint.

            yes, yes it could. You went into no detail at all, so it’s literally up to the reader’s imagination. photo touch up could mean literally filling in freckles, well use the eyedropper tool and draw over them. Color science could mean checking the color profile of your monitor, the colors in paint are HSL. Retro pixel art is literally just drawing, you just don’t get the help of pixel by pixel drawing, you’ll have to manage that yourself. Your response indicated nothing about how you use GIMP, and honestly, I doubt you have used any really in depth features that Photoshop provides.

              I used to do plenty of pixel art in MS Paint on Windows XP when I was young. Zoom in as far as it’ll go, and the pencil tool works pixel by pixel. Just need a steady hand. You could even use the eyedropper tool, some modifier key I’ve forgotten, and the eraser tool to replace one color in the image with another if you were editing existing sprites.

              So many silly recolor "OC"s. So. Many.

              As I’ve previously stated, I haven’t used Photoshop in a few decades.
