I dunno, but it does have the worst UI this side of the 60s.
(the new version is supposed to finally fix this but… [x] doubt)
why does everyone hate the UI? I love gimp, but it keeps freezing and crashing -that I don’t like.Love the UI though.
The last time I used gimp…it does but in like a really weird way. It’s not intuitive.
Iirc you take the circle selection tool and then make a path. Which you then assign a brush width and then a color.
Whenever I use gimp, and have to draw square, circle, text or a similar shape I swear I need to search the net for the answer.
You can do everything, but it is very counter intuitive to a noob. I don’t need to use gimp/Photoshop so I regularly forget it and need to look it up every time. I’m sure that for somebody who uses it regularly it is intuitive.
My Gimp workflow heavily involves Inkscape for that reason. If you need shapes, curves, text, moving stuff around, even scaling and rotating, Inkscape is much better. It’s only when I actually have to edit something in an existing image that I open Gimp. And sometimes when I need a complicated guideline, I’ll create it in Inkscape, export to png, import in Gimp, just so I don’t have to use the shape tool.
Ya just gotta stroke the path
