Krita, motherfuckers. Do you use it?
I use Krita, Aseprite, and Gimp. I must say, though, I'm loving Gimp 3. Now if we could just push past the proprietary docx plugins bullshit and make odf industry standard...
Edit: Ah, shoot. I forgot Inkscape for vector art. Shame on me... I love Inkscape.
I found Inkscape when I needed to make some diagrams, and even though that's not really what it's for, it blows dedicated diagram tools out of the water.
Inkscape is actually fun to use because it strikes a nice balance between easy and powerful.
My only problem with GIMP lately has been that by default it's used monochrome tool icons which are really hard to tell apart. Which seems like a real form-over-function decision (likely made by the distribution though).
If I can recall the vid I watched on GIMP 3, the whole UI is now customizable with CSS. You could dive a bit into it and see if you can change out or recolor the icons (recoloring should be doable if they're SVG, but you might need to decode base64, change the color and recode it into base64).
However, it shouldn't be too long before custom UIs start pouring out. So if CSS isn't your thing, keep checking back and see if someone has made something that ticks all your boxes!
I could change it in the settings. I just hadn't used it in a long time and it took me a bit to realize that this default was why I suddenly had trouble telling the tools apart.
But if the differences are that big I'm probably still on 2. Looking forward to seeing what 3 will bring then :)
Wait wait. I just found something. Head to Edit > Preferences > Icon Theme and switch to Legacy.
And bam. Gimp 3 is out, though! Should already be updated if your system is up to date!
Iβve used krita at an amateur level, pretty good would recommend
yes, actually. but i want to see gimp succeed as a professional tool.
