Of the 2, I've come to prefer Krita. Acly replaces most of Photoshop's generative tools cleanly and improves upon them with features like pose vectors and live mode.

Krita is an Illustrator replacement not a Photoshop replacement.

Lets fucking hope not.

I think there's a plug in. But it does connect to an api. So you have to have an endpoint available for that. Being an online service (mostly paid) or your own service running in your machine.

What about https://notepadqq.com/ ?

Kate, Geany and Micro are already pretty good.

I'd argue that they're even better than Notepad++. There's certainly no shortage of good text editors on Linux...

I see we have Canonical employees among us.

I think you're confusing flatpaks with snaps

i mean...

I'll take 10 of whatever you're smoking because it's obviously the good shit

As someone with no PS experience or other baggage weighing me down, I find the default UI to be insanely unintuitive. Im not even sure what the panels on the right or bottom are for, the left toolbar panel randomly disappears on me occasionally and I can never figure out how to get it back without closing and reopening GIMP. Things like Crop don't seem to do anything obvious. Painting with the brush doesn't work unless you first use the selection tool to draw a box around the area you want to use the brush. Etc, etc, etc. Some of this is obviously just because I'm a novice, and I manage to fumble my way through things, but at the same time it could be drastically simplified for simple tasks. It feels like a tool that was built for people who already knew how to use it.

This is just wrong. I love foss and the effort put into gimp, but there are so many little ux things that it gets wrong.

The big one for me is non destructive resizing of pasted objects. Photoshop puts the little drag handles on them allowing for resizing, the top middle one allows you to rotate, holding the shift key locks proportions etc, all right away after pasting.

On gimp you can open a menu and specify the height and width, or you can click shift + s, which kind of works like Photoshops but is somehow clunkier & destructive when shrinking.

I also really miss smart objects and the universal tool options menu (not sure what it's called but it lives on the top of the canvas on PS and gives you all the relevant options for whatever tool you are using. I'm sure gimp has an equivalent but out of the box I find it much more correct and confusing.

Agreeable, but this patch is useful for people coming from photoshop, especially the shortcuts. The muscle memory is hard to fix 😙

Hell to the nawww
