for me gimp, inkscape and scribus are more than enough

For me, a graphic designer, gimp is quite possibly the worst software Ive ever used. I wish someone would fork Krita to have more image editing related features.

Inkscape, however, is fantastic.

sure, i wouldn't even dream of doing any real graphics work daily on gimp. i just hope that the developement picks up speed and more contributors after gimp 3.0 releases hopefully in may.

Graphite has interesting ideas but I'm no fan of the web first focus.

Plus every time I've tried, their raster editing has absolutely horrible performance.

Looks promising. Their website had me thinking I smashed my mobile glass. Nice troll

may I ask what's wrong with gimp ? I've never used it for anything beyond basic editing

[-] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Namely the horrific UI. Everything is burried within menus and popup windows.

I miss GIMPshop for that reason.
