Lemmy seems like the right place to ask this. Personally I've really enjoyed Gurgle, which is a FOSS Wordle clone app.

And also FOSS Photoshop. Without the annoying subscription model and AI scraping. And way more comfortable to use than GIMP.

I would say GIMP (+ extensions) is still the FOSS version of Photoshop.

Of course, i would love to have a fully fledged program without such a steep learning curve.

But i think Krita is fine as it is.

So i wished there was another just as good program that filled that void.

https://www.photopea.com/ could be an option, depending on your needs.

Photopea is excellent, but FOSS it is not.

Any extensions you would suggest for GIMP?

[–] Granixo@feddit.cl 2 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately my knowledge only goes for the base program. But i've heard many saying that with the right time and extensions GIMP does replace Photoshop.
