At least GIMP doesn't have that monthly subscription BS?

(Also the copy of GIMP I use has the option to disable auto-updates unavailable somehow.)

I exist in the world of Linux, so my GIMP updates through my package manager.

Disabling auto-updates sounds like a Windows thing.

I haven't used Photoshop in years. What can it do that the gimp can't?

Gradiants, zoom with CTRL + and CTRL -, much better support for printing on larger than normal paper

Because GIMP is free, that's why people use it.

Photoshop CS2 was available on Adobe's website for a time, with copy protection removed.

It's still free if you know where to look, and it is still better than GIMP.

GIMP's open source nigger. If it doesn't have a feature you want, add it in and submit a pull request. Only faggots whine about free shit people work on for free.

No casual user gives a flying fuck about being legal.

Photoshop has all the features I could ever ask for and it cost me zero dollars.

GIMP costs me in time trying to figure out why it won't fucking do what I need it to do. Time is money, especially when you're Jewish.

GIMP does gradients.


Last Photoshop I used regularly was 7 and the very early CS ones (IIRC), and I switched over to GIMP by the end of the '00s.

Indeed, it does gradients. I think the problem I was having is that the color space of the file I was working on was very small, because it wouldn't do a gradient to save its life.

Then why don't you use photoshop instead of wasting time whining about gimp when you could be making money. Or is running Photoshop on Linux too difficult for you?

Wine's handling of MDI programs is buggy at best.

Often I give the OSS way of doing things a try before resorting to Win32 programs. Sometimes it works out, other times it really doesn't.

I have Photoshop CS2 in a WinXP virtual machine as a workaround.

Then why are you here bitching about software you don't use instead of out grinding those shekels? Come on now time is money afterall.

This is my downtime, I'll spend it however I want.

Shekel is the currency of the Israeli ratkike, I do not use it. Why should I, when I got gold, and the US Dollar.

GIMP is peak open source UI design right up there with xcalc.

If gimp didn't exist we wouldn't have this either:
