Yeah I really like what they’re doing and I applaud their efforts, but they are a solid decade behind PS when it comes to feature parity.

I assume you are right. So then I ask myself, for my own occasional use, would a standalone version of Photoshop from 2015 cover my needs?

Yeah, I think it would!

I was always a much heavier user of Lightroom than Photoshop anyway. I still need to choose between the FOSS options there.

And UI usability.

I imagine Gimp users revolting if it ever improves a lot.

[–] anamethatisnt@sopuli.xyz 13 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Have users ever not revolted against change? :P

I wonder if it would be feasible to create a different UI on top of the existing GIMP backend.

[–] Novocirab@feddit.org 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Look into PhotoGIMP, afaik it precisely delivers Photoshop-like symbols, maybe even layout, and shortcuts

I thought they had stopped development? Have t checked them in a decade.

Last release was in mars to make it work with GIMP 3.0
