You want MS Paint.

Is there an OG post to reference here?

EDIT: Nice, big improvement on UI responsiveness with large font libraries. Still some room for improvement, but it was almost unusable before.

The UI of modern Photoshop is now insanely bloated.

Headscale is a good fit for individuals wanting to manage a work from anywhere private network and monitor via a GUI. Also I suspect for businesses wanting to avoid Tailscale's increased prices. Works fine with the regular tailscale client as well. It's all doable in docker containers for security. Does Saml identity etc so you can do the auth via an identity provider. Probably more secure than Tailscale's backend given their size and recent embrace of AI integration

If they could make it as dummy proof as Macromedia Fireworks from the 2000s, they would make transitioning creative work in Linux a bit easier. And this is coming from a Linux user since 2008.

Do they want someone to test a new name? I'm tired of waiting.

Sit anybody in front of Photoshop for the first time and it will be the same.

I am going to get slammed here ... but GIMP is just way too complex to use. Maybe the new UI will be better, but the old UI is not just clunky or slightly bad ... it is UNUSABLE by normal people.

Draw a circle in GIMP. Draw a square. Yea ... how long did that take to figure out?

Wellllll that's exactly what they're looking for testers for right now

I've been using GIMP for years and have become use to it. However, the interface still needs to be redesigned.

Use ellipse select tool with a fixed aspect ratio of 1:1. Then Select -> Border and choose a width. Then fill it with a color.

Like yeah, it is 3 steps instead of having a dedicated "Shapes" tool with a bunch of options that would do the same. But GIMP is kind of built around selections, you do need to learn to use them if you ever want to use GIMP effectively. It's about as important as understanding layers.

Perhaps if people keep suggesting a rename, it'll happen eventually. It is a shame that it has the name it has.

GIMP is meant more for retouching photos, not drawing shapes. If you mostly want to draw shapes from scratch, you probably want something like Krita or Inkscape instead.

But if you really must draw a circle in GIMP, you make a circular selection and then fill it in with the bucket fill tool.

I used to use Photoshop and indesign prolifically to shitpost to do great art work in the 2000s. I took a good decade and a half off and decided to go Gimp instead of a new version of Photoshop this year. I’m at about 80% of what I could smoothly do with Photoshop, and honestly I love it.

I don’t think I could have made the switch if I didn’t take a super mega long break, though.

how recently can i have installed it? like, yesterday? HOW DO I DRAW A CIRCLE

App is great, name is terrible but the devs like it and don't want to entertain the idea of renaming.

BRING OUT THE GIMP

Long live the PhotoGIMP guy.
