9/28/2023 0 Comments Gimp graphics editor![]() I was looking for something (relatively) lightweight with a reasonable amount of features to do minor image manipulations and make humorous motivational posters and stuff. Thanks for the tip about the program and thanks to the others for the links. OK, I downloaded Paint.NET and tried it out for about an hour. Preferably something that doesn’t make you hunt around for the toolbox every time you switch to another image and doesn’t consume 90 MB of RAM when you have only three images open. So I’m looking for some suggestions regarding free alternatives to GIMP. GIMP has a long way to go until it approaches the usability of Adobe 10 years ago. I used to use Adobe Photoshop 6 which I got from a tech guy at the company I worked for years ago. You can’t select the image, grow the selection, then fill a border because that creates a border with rounded–not square–corners. There is no easy way to do it other than to draw a line around the image with a round brush because there are no square ones. I’m trying to make one of those and it is a frustrating experience in GIMP. You know those funny motivational posters? They have a picture in the middle with a border around it and a funny caption underneath. ![]() I won’t even get started on those annoying floating windows like the toolbox. Even doing something like moving a layer requires you to set the radio button to “move the active layer” because the default is to move anything other than the currently selected layer. I have become thoroughly convinced that the people who designed GIMP did so with the intention of frustrating as many people as possible. ![]()
