GIMP is preparing to unleash a revolutionary new update—a high-performance, modern UI powerhouse designed to dismantle Adobe’s stranglehold on the industry.
To deliver the final blow to subscription-based creative tools, GIMP desperately needs testers right now.

I used to use Photoshop and indesign prolifically
to shitpostto 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.

It’s opening up PS and ID after the break and realising the application you once knew inside-out have changed so much, may as well learn a new one instead.
Sounds like op overstates the changes to GIMP 3.2
My main issue with Gimp is that it does work well, but it takes me forever to find where the features are
@spacegoat @borosilicate Are you familiar with the action search feature? If you type ‘/’, it pulls up a search box to find and use features. It also shows the menu path & associated keyboard shortcut.
Not an excuse to stop improving the UI, but I’ve found it to be really helpful myself.
Didn’t know about this! Thank you!
That is my annoyance as well, especially since I took photoshop classes for a couple years in school. But i figure, every time I use GIMP i remember where stuff is a bit better and I get faster at using it.
Long live the PhotoGIMP guy.
i am in favour of them just doing this. the experience is a mess. affinity via wine worked much better for me.
(ps: maybe a rust rewrite? just kidding… unless… )
