Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp.

  So does Gimp…

    It’s more complex. In Photoshop, it’s a single tool. In GIMP, you make a circular selection, convert it to a path, and then stroke the path.

    Not only is this more convoluted, it’s bewilderingly unintuitive to beginners and is definitely one of GIMP’s shortcomings.

      In Photoshop paint, it’s a single tool.

      I think the real reason so many people hate GIMPs flow is that it doesn’t match the free paint tool that comes with every Microsoft OS since before I was born.

      This would help explain why people who have never used PS even 10 years ago would regularly bounce off GIMP for making no intuitive sense

        In every fucking program ever it’s a single tool.

      One can reduce to two steps:

      1. Draw elipse selection
      2. Fill with paint bucket

      I’ll not disagree that it is unintuitive, however. But, that was not the statement.

        That doesn’t do the same thing, I guess the goal is really how to draw the outline of a circle
