Don’t need to apply it. It has got stackable filters now. Individually editable and hideable. Works fine with text. So just confirms my theory that all the haters haven’t touched it recently. Just like with Linux (they generally don’t distinguish between distributions ofc), when people claim you need the console for everything while you mostly don’t need it at all.
I use it every few days and tried to do what I just described before posting about it, and was unable to do so. I don’t consider that “not having touched it recently.”
And even if it does do that now on some newer version my distro doesn’t have, my thoughts are still the same as others in this thread like the bad UX and many other features photoshop has that gimp doesn’t.
I’d say anyone claiming it isn’t a viable alternative hasn’t touched The Gimp since 1996
Weird, because I do so multiple times a week
So why bother if it’s not viable?
Never said it’s not viable
It’s just not an alternative for Photoshop
For super simple stuff is fine, if a little bit cumbersome
You literally said that fifty minutes ago.
If you read the full sentence, you’ll see that I didn’t
Sure, Jan
It’s a viable simple graphics program
Not a viable Photoshop alternative
that sentence didn’t say what you think it says at all
still can’t change text after applying a filter in $current_year

Instead of <sane way of doing things> it does it in <unhinged clunky ways because programmer>.
Gimp will always be awful because it has never been developed with UX as the priority.
They recently started to try improving on that front, so maybe one day?
