Open inkscape Draw circle Export bmp Open as layers 😹
Why BMP. GIMP can deal with SVGs, no?
It can open SVGs as raster images, but I never managed it to look great. It's better to export to a BMP from an SVG editor.
“I don’t have photoshop”
Problem solved
a lot of school provide ps 'for free' and expect everyone to use it
I see you went to reach schools... Lucky you, mine didn't even provided toilet paper

In that case, anon should have just figured out a way to run it before the class started
It’s a joke

you can't draw a circle in gimp?
There's no "Shape" tool. You could just select a circular area in an empty layer and fill it though.
You can, it is very unintuitive though. You draw the shape using the eilpse tool and set a border for the selection.
It's not hard, but there is really no way to figure this out without ever looking for a tutorial.
It's absolutely stupid design and more difficult than it needs to be.
I'll say it - Photoshop is infinitely more intuitive than gimp for the average person. Sure, if you are fucking determined, I'm sure you can figure it out eventually. You can even make it work. But if you say it is easier than Photoshop, you are wrong.
I love FOSS stuff but way too many people are delusional about the pros and cons of it. There are absolutely cons.
I stand with op.

GIMP 2 is utter dogshit in terms of user experience.
GIMP 3, the version that is supposed to make everything easier, hasn't been released yet. ^(it's been years and I have given up hoping)
The situation sucks, but there aren't that many developers working on GIMP in the first place. Certainly not as many as Photoshop.

Lmao this is the better of the two pastas
Ellipse select tool (E) with shift (and optionally ctrl) pressed after starting the drag -> Edit menu -> Stroke Selection
For some reason I do find GIMP easier to use them photoshop tho
"Software I'm used to is easier for me than software I have no experience with."
What a fantastic insight.
You would imagine this to be obvious, but people who are used to Photoshop or Reddit complain all the time that Gimp or Lemmy are not as intuitive, as the other comments fully demonstrate.

I stopped using GIMP and started using https://www.photopea.com/. You get most Photoshop features for free (ad-supported) in a familiar interface and without having to install a large slow application.
Seriously though, why there is no shape tool in Gimp?
It's like a traditional martial art, you must first master arbitrarily complicated forms before, maybe, being able to make something useful of it it in ten years.
makes sense. same people who made emacs.

SaaS
The end times basically
You can't own a copy and you rent your usage by the month.
You’ll Own Nothing and Be Happy.
