GIMPchads we're winning :miku_dab:
@MoeBritannica Imagine being so fucking retarded that you use Adobe shit.

Also, I find Krita much easier to use than GIMP. Maybe if I want to git gud at redrawing I will try it.
@Zergling_man @MoeBritannica neither krita and gimp can be photoshop alternatives, @RustyCrab on here pointed out iirc how krita was dumb/weird/wrong about something
@mischievoustomato @Zergling_man @MoeBritannica my only real problem with krita is that their colorize mask tool is retarded and doesn't work half the time. Their advanced filters are also kind of a pain to access. Beats the shit out of gimp still
@Zergling_man @MoeBritannica @mischievoustomato oh yeah there is another problems with krita where it can't cut things with feathered edges properly. Select something, cut, paste without moving it at all and there will be a halo around it. I don't remember PS doing that.

@RustyCrab @mischievoustomato @Zergling_man @MoeBritannica
Photoshop wasn't perfect at that either, it just got gradually better with time. I wonder if GIMP and friends are any good now when you're preparing something for actual printing, usually you don't give two shits about this stuff when you're doing images for web, but free tools used to be rather bad when working with colour profiles and all that 🤔

@Zergling_man @RustyCrab @mischievoustomato @MoeBritannica
True, but if you're a designer, you have to do that too — and if you still have to pay for Adobe stuff, it makes sense to use it for everything: it integrates really well and you don't have to think about format interoperability.

@RustyCrab @mischievoustomato @Zergling_man @MoeBritannica
That is a valid question — I don't have an answer for that.
Some probably value their work low enough and don't care, some fool themselves into believing that Adobe has dignity and they won't see AI-generated derivatives of their designs in weeks from now, and some… will sue them sooner or later 🤣

@m0xee @mischievoustomato @Zergling_man @MoeBritannica I'm betting the reason they did that is due to the copyright landmines with AI generation stuff. If "adobe owns it" then there's no legal issue with feeding all your stuff into a model for other people to get output from. Profoundly shitty way to do that though.

That definitely looks like an attempt to protect themselves from lawsuits, but I doubt it would be that smooth. Maybe not in US, but in some jurisdictions it might be against the law — even if they put it on the terms. At some point EU will probably still sue the shit out of them and to settle, they would back down at least on some of it. And same as with GDPR for US companies, it would happen worldwide.
