    @conno02 hot take: people saying GIMP is the Alternative to Photoshop without saying its UX it’s the most unusable ever. Even Krita or Affinity Photo/Designer have better user interfaces than GIMP.

      I find GIMP so difficult to use, but I can’t justify the expense of Photoshop for hobbyist use so I’m keeping at it. I wish there was something that at least had a similar UI. So many easy tasks in PS are crazy complicated in GIMP.

        @stardom8048 @penalbatoday
        Did you try Photopea yet? https://www.photopea.com/

        Similar experience, but free (and online)

      I use Krita almost exclusively, but gimp is a lot more usable with photogimp.
