Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games

  It’s not. It’s miserable to actually use. It’s miserable to manage in a production setting. It’s just not acceptable unless you’re working for yourself.

    “oh no I have to learn something new 😭😭😭😭”

    It’s easy, real easy in a production setting. Different is not hard.

    Publishing to other formats and opening more formats are an absolute strength!

      Gimp was competition for Photoshop some 25 years ago. Photoshop has improved a lot since those days, Gimp hasn’t. Gimp isn’t even the best graphics app in the Free Software space anymore.

        I have used gimp over the past about 15 years, photoshop & Corel suite past 4 well. Gimp is not photoshop anyone who has used it, understands that it’s a different product and frankly it does not matter. It’s very capable where it matters and the net result is it costs nothing. No rent charging for nice but not necessary features for myself.

      Yeah…no. It’s objectively worse in many ways. Student on a budget? Hobbyist? Gimp will get the job done…but then again so will Pixlr 99% of the time. It’s gotta get a whole lot better before production houses seriously consider switching.

        I’d also like to add Photopea to the list.

    I’d recommend Photopea for casual use that’s not miserable to use. It’s in browser only and is basically a photoshop clone with slightly less features, but it’s amazingly close to Photoshop when I need it to be, even with things like using a pen or a really specific option menu.

    It does generate it’s revenue via banner ads but I’ve never seen them with my adblock, if I’m needing to quickly whip something up and utilise my Photoshop familiarity, it’s my go to.

      I use Photopea too for basic editing, but it certainly wouldn’t be good in a professional environment.

      Do whatever you want on your own time 🙂

  I would rather stab myself in the eyeballs than use GIMP.
