why I can't use the Gimp

johnvile


@Mannemerak
Ive been using Gimp for years but always go back to Photoshop.

Probably the worst thing about Gimp is..

Gimp isnt Photoshop. It can do all the things Photoshop can do, but it takes three times as long to do them.
this is because it isnt Photoshop and never will be

why is Gimp not like Photoshop?

Adobe like most corporate bastards have probably got patents on things like FF
pressing the F key twice in photoshop gives you wonderful full screen.
Pressing F in Gimp brings up a select tool?

cleverly in an attempt to be as different from Photoshop as possible they opted to use seemingly arbitrary letters and key strokes as short cut keys in an attempt not to get sued by the monolithic Adobe.

the biggest pain in the ass ever

By far the biggest annoyance for me anyway are the windows.
I like the windows in the same window not floating about all over the place.

The Gimp is a classic example of what happens when big business wields supreme power over freedom
If Adobe didnt exist Im sure The Gimp would be exactly the same as Photoshop. (becouse Photoshop makes sense)
Its layers panel would make sense everything would be in one window, when you pressed FF the whole thing would go full screen and everything, It would be great. It would be Photoshop only called the Gimp.

most importantly it would all just make sense.
has Adobe patented everything to do with image editing that makes sense?
Is The Gimp all the bits Adobe couldnt be arsed to patent?
It sure feels like it.
