  Could just use GIMP at that point.

    I’ve tried. SO many times. It’s just so damn clunky. I ended up using Krita (also FOSS) instead.

    I’m an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 – not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It’s the vi of image editors.

      Did you try Krita?

        I’ve played with it for a little bit, but at this point, I’m so far removed from print design, I gave up after kicking the tires. When my resume ceased to be able to get anywhere as a PDF’d INDD, I tucked tail and went back to Word.

      I’ve never used Photoshop in my life, but use GIMP all the time. Think it has more to do with the workflow you’re accustomed to. Granted, a vi user would probably say the same thing lol.

    Gimp is not intuitive at all. Krita or Paint.net are good free alternatives and Affinity photo is great (but not free)

      Affinity is free as of a couple weeks ago. And there’s talk of a Linux native version being considered iirc.

      Requires a free license, so the old adage about you being the product probably applies.
