![]() Unfortunately they may actually have long term employment that they like and not be enthused about working for one year and then going back on the job market. Suppose that for example required replacing $300,000 in wages. This would in turn require replacing what they earn at their actual job including benefits. Imagine if you will that making that happen in 2023 were to require 2 people who currently contribute to gimp part time to work on gimp full time for a year. I have no idea what the actual cost of this is as I know nothing about their code but lets do a thought experiment. Nor indeed are they obliged to provide you a way to pay them for a particular feature although if you offered them a sufficiently large pile of money you might be able to reach a mutual understanding and certainly nothing prevents you from developing a fork or paying someone to do so right now.Ī large problem with such an understanding forming is that the cost of such would be driven by the cost of expensive labor not your perception of the value to an individual end user. No amount of need on your part constitutes an obligation on their part because simply you have paid them nothing and they offered you nothing other than the ability to use the current software as is or modify it. There is a difference between desiring to serve users needs and obligation to serve a particular need. Feature requests indicate that they desire to make it useful by understanding what things people want. As far as I can see, it is the number one reason why people do not consider Gimp as a Photoshop replacement.ĭonations are driven presumably by people who are already sufficiently satisfied by current trajectory to want it to continue. But how this feature can be ignored after people have been begging for it for over a decade now is beyond me. ![]() I am very grateful to the people who build it. ![]() It is still that archaic.ĭon't get me wrong. But back then it was so archaic that you could not even change the contrast settings after you did something else to the image". When I talk to designers about Gimp they say "Uh, I tried it once years ago. I feel like having a global command palette would help keep tutorials relevant for a longer period of time, because if I don't find an icon I could just global search it by name.Īnd again no non-destructive adjustment layers, the saga continues! I tried them all, and the result was always the same: I paint with the black paint, see the changes, release my click, and 1 second later the changes are cancelled for no apparent reason The toolbar has like 5 different tools with a brush icon, I had no idea which one to chooseĢ. The other day I was trying to apply a mask on a layer and in the tutorial they painted it with a black brush to hide some parts of the changes on the layer. Even the window to create a new project doesn't look the same between my version and what's in the tutorial, some options don't even seem to exist anymore wtf where is this button? Why doesn't it work?". As a beginner I really want to like Affinity, I even bought Photo and Designer, but it's just so hard to find tutorials with the same UI! For every single tutorial I follow I'm like "ok click here, click here and.
