This should be helpful for people that learned Photoshop in the past (for work or in school). From what I understand, a lot of the friction with GIMP is the workflow differences, and potentially unintuitive UI/UX choices.

tldr: recovering Adobe Photoshop user shows you features in the very free and very open source gnu image manipulation program :D

    I’m sorry to hear, that it’s that difficult for you to draw a circle. It takes me about 15 seconds to make the perfect circle I want. To me, that is simply the time it takes to make it perfect. If I just want a circle, I can do that much quicker…

    So how many times a day do you need to make a circle? When I use Affinity, Inkscape, Krita, GIMP, I don’t very often draw a circle. Most of the time, I do it in Inkscape, because it’s great to make shapes, but there’s a wast difference between a program to make vector graphics, and to make and edit bitmap pictures.

        When you are going to be stupid about it, yeah… It’s not that hard, and you simply can’t accept it. You want it easier, well, good for you, you can do that…
