I gave up doing anything graphical since I switched to Linux as gimp is just so annoying to use. Is there something better? I need to get back into it as I plan to redo some of my websites.
For example, I'm just doing a silly photoshop that would normally take 5 minutes in Photoshop, and every step in gimp is a true nightmare. There's no layer effects, so I had to do everything manually like text glow etc. Resize only works when it wants. Seems to work immediately on something that is pasted, but you can't go back to change it after. I wanted to stretch a part of an image and it does nothing, basically acting like the wrong layer is selected, when it's not. Overall, it's just a really irritating app to use. heck, the fact that it puts that grid is annoying, it's hard to see the result in real time (if it actually works). Good attempt at a graphics program, but it's just not polished enough.
Very worse case scenario I may even use Photoshop in Wine but I really want to try to stick to open source if I can.
