![]() I used to do animations in photoshop, then, because of reasons, tried to do it in GIMP one day and jump set the keybindings to the same keys use the search function where available - Space in Blender, / in GIMP 2.9+) It is a bit complex juggling the different programs, but this can be reduced (eg. Maybe also Gifsicle.įor vectors, Inkscape (Krita and MyPaint both facilitate use of an external vector editor for vector layers, FWIW)įor pixel art (inc.animated, tiles.) or design, Grafx2 with DB_Toolbox or GIMP 2.9+, since it has some nice indexpainting stuff - you can airbrush/clone, use fuzzy brushes, etc on indexed images. That's why I don't recommend GIMP for general CG painting It can do CG painting, but MyPaint and Krita can do it better and with less complexity.įor touchups, coloring, or complex animations, yeah, GIMP (with GMIC and GIMP-GAP). Personally my philosophy is to know a selection of tools which are best at what they do, and hook them up. And experiment with the dockables (there are a lot of different ones you might want to consider) Biggest recommendation I would make about it is to hide a lot of stuff from the toolbox and access the rest through shortcuts or the Tools menu. I'm pretty happy with the usability, too (2.9+, development/git). I'm also a longtime GIMP user - even though I use development/git version most of the time, crashes are extremely rare. ![]() My art-hand is rusty and stiff and I want to stick with one program once I get started, at least at first. But I've not really tried to draw much yet. What I saw of it (there's a free-no-saves trial) seemed pretty neat. Haven't tried Clip Studio Paint but I've heard it's good. That said, my issue was about a year and a half ago, so who knows-maybe it's been fixed :) (part of which might have been that I used a pirated copy of photoshop when I was a kid and GIMP always seemed like it was trying to be PSP, but wasn't quite there yet.) Been too long to remember most of them, though. That said, I've tried it several times over the years and keep running into issues. It was a really basic like, 2-3 minute "make suitable for posting" that I tried like 4 times before I gave up and downloaded something else. I was just using some sort of autobalance or something like that (y'know, know, the thing that most decent art programs should have). You must have had some corrupted files or something. I only ever use GIMP and it works pretty great. With paid options at least SAI and photoshop CC do have trial periods, but they will demand more commitment with purchare than free alternatives. I do remember trying Krita to check one gif animation file and I simply couldn't find how to do what I wanted to do, what I could've done in seconds already with gimp.Īs it still is one of the free software, it's always worth a try, similar to Krita which is updating constantly and paint.NET. My problem is that I have been using Gimp from the time that I still was only using Linux to do everything ten years ago and it still does everything I need to do, so it's simply faster and easier for me to just use it instead of training to use new software. gimp folder on your userprofile and doing clean reinstall fixes most issues. If you use Linux there are rarely this severe issues. Was able to fix that by simply removing that path. Under Windows there are bunch of issues like this, latest issue I got was that every time I tried to open it, it tried to cache fonts from place that didn't exsist for two minutes. which is pretty underhanded, but then, maybe I jsut didn't read closely enough. I've noticed one or two programs that don't really mention "oh, wait you can't save!" until you try to save. make sure you can save before you invest a lot of time into a piece of artwork. but it's apay program-though it has a limited trial! a lot of people speak very fondly of clip paint studio. I've got Medibang paint and fire alpaca installed. I don't know! I"m trying to figure that out myself.Īn top of what others have used. I really don't recomend GIMP.ĪS for what DO use. nothing fancy, it was just for an amazon review. The last time I was using it I was trying to do some basic photo editing-balance colors, crop and resize. I've used GIMP many times over the years and I've honestly never had a good experience with it. Not sure about SAI but Gimp was free last time I checked.
