A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It's the same as with Linux, GIMP, LibreOffice or OnlyOffice. Some people are so used to their routines that they expect everything to work the same and get easily pissed when not.

You also need a guide to get going in PS, its just a different App but fulfills the same tasks

It fills some of the same tasks.

Which tasks is Photoshop capable of and GIMP is not?

[–] ShustOne@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Something I use a ton: smart objects, smart masks, smart filters. Non destructive actions where I can still edit the original and have all previous items applied in a separate file or view in real time.

OK but thats a workflow problem, that's not a missing design tool.

Well these tools are in Photoshop and not GIMP. You can't just hand wave that away as not GIMPs fault.

Well its still not a image manipulation feature missing. It's a workflow feature. You could also just copy a layer. But in the end, Photoshop has no image manipulation feature that is really missing in GIMP, you can export the same result picture.

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct

Right so you've validated my point that it's not a Photoshop alternative.

Look at it like two cars. One is automatic and the other has a stick shift. In the end what I am talking about is the transportation. Both cars drive the same speed and arrive at the same time, but driving stick requires a different workflow, then driving automatic. But that does not mean, stick shift is no alternative to an automatic.
