Show me how to change 1 pixel in an image. I’d actually be truthfully thankful and will consider to try to use gimp again (last time I tried the mouse didn’t position/choose the zoomed in pixels correctly).
Show me how to open an image, make a small modification, then:
(step 2) save it and close GIMP under 10 clicks.
They deliberately changed so you can’t save your modified image? I mean WTF? You have to export it with all the popups as you overwrite, hold your breath, the image that you opened and want to save!!1!.
Then trying to nag you into saving it to some unknown unused bizarre gimp extension.
It’s like they don’t want people to switch. And it’s such a shame as the soft is getting better and better all the time.
It’s more like File-> export->select PNG->save->select your file(that you just opened and modified)->save->yes I want to overwrite it
THEN close the image in Gimp->no I don’t want to save image.xpf.
Then trying to nag you into saving it to some unknown unused bizarre gimp extension.
You mean saving a project file? The same way you’d save a PSD file in PS, so you can actually save all your layers and go back to make an edit? It’s been a while since I’ve used Photoshop, but I’m pretty sure both GIMP and PS offer two different workflows of saving/exporting your work and they are just named differently and have different keybinds. I have no idea how you can act like you actually tried to use GIMP as something other than a drop-in replacement for PS, but then call the default GIMP project file format “unknown, unused and bizarre”…
There are two ways to save your work in either program. You can save your actual work, so you can continue editing at some point and not lose stuff like layers, image quality and other information or you can export your work into some kind of image file, optionally compressing it and discarding extra information about the project. I think GIMP even offers a shortcut for this called “Overwrite …”. How is this an issue?
it’s accurate though.
The amount of PS users i see trying gimp for all of about 2 seconds and then shitting themselves when it isn’t exactly the same as PS is funny to me.
There are important technological differences i suppose, but i rarely see people complain about that.
GIMP is a monster, as is PS. There is no getting around it.

File > overwrite yourimage.jpeg
Ctrl+Q
That’s 2 mouse clicks and one keyboard shortcut.
You can even make number 1 keyboard shortcut if you want. How is that any more laborious than photoshop?
File -> Overwrite (2 clicks)
File -> Quit (2 clicks)
Yes I want to quit, even though I haven’t saved it as an .xpf file (1 click)
Total: 5 clicks
It’s more like File-> export->select PNG->save->select your file(that you just opened and modified)->save->yes I want to overwrite it THEN close the image in Gimp->no I don’t want to save image.xpf.
Instead of a CTRL+S
I mean sometimes you’d probably missclick too…
File > overwrite
Bind it to Ctrl+s if you want.
It only saves as an xcf project if you choose save instead of overwrite.
the fuck do you mean “it’s more like” i just reproduced those 5 steps using my copy of gimp
Not saving a project file, but the image file you just opened. Learn to read, sheesh.
Yes, that is what those steps do
like you are aware that overwriting the file you opened, as opposed to saving a project file, is what I just told you how to do in 5 clicks?

No, I’m not talking about project files, they are fine, I’m talking about opening an image, do some basic stuff and saving it. Image editing.

Lol you’re sure tone-deaf.
