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.
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
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.
The new MS photos app actually has an AI-powered tool that can do precisely this. Was shocked at how well it worked for this exact use case.
Sorry for using the solution that was right in front of me, free, and took ten seconds.
Should have watched a YouTube tutorial, paid for photoshop and done it myself the good old fashioned way.
Like this
You don’t, Microsoft realized back then that this is the coolest it could ever looked and thusly removed that ability permanently.
There’s a way to rotate things in MS Paint that involves using the “skew” feature lol. So maybe do that to each letter.
Rotate the layer. I hear they upgraded MS paint to have layers now. So it stands to reason you would create the text on its own later and then screw/rotate that layer on its own?
Idk, that skew trick was like Windows 7 days lol. I haven’t used the cool layered one!
