There's also GIMP as a Photoshop alternative
And Dark Table as a Lightroom alternative
Both are pretty great IMO
GIMP was painful to use. Has it gotten any better yet?
Unfortunately, nope.
I'm not sure what you mean, I've found it quite easy to use though it does have a learning curve like most things
When was the last time you tried it?
Used it a few years ago after Blender got the 2.9 treatment. The interface felt very clunky and unintuitive for basic operations compared to anything else. I remember looking at a tutorial and thinking what?
Unfortunately it's still confusing, I come from Photoshop were you can customize the UI to your liking, and switch between workspaces, Gimp has some of that functionality but still lacking..
I believe at the end of this year, we'll see the release of Gimp 3, so I guess it won't look ugly anymore
No, use Krita instead. I gave up on Gimp ever getting better about 15 years ago
Capture One is not foss but fucking great
