I've used Paint Shop Pro (Since it's early JASC days in the early '90s... yeah on Windows 3.1!), GIMP and Photoshop. Currently I am using Corel Paint Shop Pro 2020. I don't require most of the features that even Paint Shop Pro offers, but curious as to what your thoughts are on Paint Shop Pro or if you have ever had the opportunity to use it. In the past, I have also used many porfessional Photoshop plugins with Paint Shop Pro.

I read somewhere that the Gimp development team only consist of a few people around 4-6. It could be much more but even it is open source they need money to grow and create a better product. Blender is a good example since they started a development two years ago they were able to hire 10 fulltime developers and they are able to release a lot of quality updates every week

Yes, a difference thus: the blender team create almost everything from scratch, even their gui, which is coded in opengl, a very low level library. Gimp resuses some open source libraries like GTK+, meaning that a lot of people besides the gimp team did something for the program. For example, tablet support is (mostly) implemented by GTK team and not the gimp programmers. This is one of the main benefit of open source technology.

@@theseangle I don't think they use a neural network for smart object selection, they use it for the new smart filters, like the aging filter. Luckily, that isn't patentable. Well, it may be, but open source software like style-GAN has already been doing amazing things like this for a few years, although they aren't very user friendly to set up. Adobe's object selection patent is utter insanity, but as a huge company, they have the legal resources to be granted patents that would other-vice be rejected. Writing a patent application is an art, it needs to be as broad as possible as to cover a super wide area, so that the company can use this to threaten other firms. At the same time, it needs to consist of many bogus fancy words that describe a simple feature. If it sounds complex enough, the patent clerk will probably accept it. Talk about "promoting innovation and useful arts".

Oh, yeah, I've been using GIMP for the past decade or so now. Just keeps getting better and better, too. Edit: The only issue I've noticed so far, and this has apparently been a bug since 2.10.14, is that with the Lighting Effects filter (especially in 2.10.22), if you try to use channel information as a bump source, the plugin immediately crashes. Not ideal, but a somewhat easy (though slightly inconvenient) stop-gap fix is to keep a 32-bit version (say 2.6.10 or later) installed alongside your 64-bit installation of GIMP.

When I first started using GIMP (2010~) I found the layout and all the filters and everything easier to get into rather than photoshop. I think all the AI stuff that photoshop can do can be a bit confusing and complicated, as well as not helpful in understanding how something works - ESPECIALLY if you're self taught. I use GIMP for creating digital artwork and I find gimp is better with all the different layer overlays and filters compared to photoshop. I appreciate how similar the two programs are and find many of the things I've learned are transmutable, and so if anyone is still deciding I would highly recommend starting with gimp.

I don't think so. People need to find it easier/better to use. The problem is, they learn PS first, then come to gimp and complain that it isn't PS. You can make great things with horrible tools if you persevere enough. Not saying Gimp is horrible, but it's really complicated, especially if you take companies into consideration. There is a great video on Linus Tech Tips where they experiment moving away from the adobe suite for video editing, and its interesting that they had not only technical considerations regarding the softwares but also considered the impact of having to learn new tools and transitioning to new technologies would have on their productivity.

I feel like the fact that Adobe switched to a subscription business model will switch many people away from Photoshop but I doubt that will affect many large agencies that require photoshop proficiency or schools that refuse to teach anything but photoshop because of the fact it has become industry standard. I genuinely believe that GIMP had more potential than photoshop since if many users want feature and there is more interest towards GIMP it can become more powerful than photoshop and you don't have to rely on a company deciding what feature to add or even hoping that they don't remove some feature. At the moment if you don't require photoshop as a must, you should use GIMP since with scripting you can totally find a workflow that suits you but going from photoshop to GIMP is harder and may not even be worth it. I have never used photoshop (apart from cracked versions that crashed all the time) so I just kinda had to use GIMP and while I am not a photo editor or anything of the sort just for making memes and retouching my own photos GIMP is very adequate.

Like showing popup windows that I have to click a tiny ok button to dismiss every time I do something it doesn't expect, or the terrible undo implementation, where if I switch to a tool, draw, then undo, it switches back to the previous tool in addition to undoing the line drawn, which makes line art iteration extremely annoying.

The biggest issue with Gimp (and open source projects in general) is that useful features can change on a single programmers whim and if you and others don't like the changes you can usually go "fork" yourself, as in: use the source to maintain your own copy. Of course you don't have to upgrade, but sometimes you do. Which can result in quite a few issues.

Photoshop's strength IMHO is that it has become the industry standard and that is purely because it predates GIMP and had/has a bigger following. It also has a huge amount of money thrown at development. GIMP by contrast was/is always playing catchup in terms of following and GIMP's features are often termed 'GIMP's version of Photoshop's X'. You almost never see the term 'Photoshop's version of GIMP's X'. Therefore GIMP is viewed as a follower not a market leader. OTOH GIMP is free [libre] and often pre-installed with various versions [flavours] of Linux, and is cross-platform, with Linux, Windows and Mac versions so you can 'try before you buy' thus whether you use a computer with Linux, Windows or MacOS you can use the same software and not interrupt your work-flow. Modern iterations of Photoshop do not work in Linux [WINE]. It is not packaged with any operating system, and there is - excluding trial versions which are often cut down - AFAIK no truly free version so you must spend large - depending on your budget - amounts of money and then install it before starting to use it. Virtual Machines [VMs] are often limited in graphics RAM available - not ideal when discussing / using graphics software.

I recently switched from Photoshop to GIMP because I just wasn't going to give Adobe any more money.. GIMP, for its resources, is rather good, but the difference in the development team is clear, a few for GIMP vs many for Photoshop. PS is more polished, but there's not many things you cannot do with GIMP but GIMP just seems more clunky at times especially with interface and window focus issues (for instance, when saving, the cursor doesn't actually default to the section where you actually name the file - you start typing and the type goes into a unseen box which I still haven't figured out the purpose of yet). Also the way GIMP handles text is just poor.

I began using Gimp back in the early 2000's, when I was using a AMD K6-2 based PC with a Voodoo3 PCI card. Some edits took a while to complete, but most of the time it ran fast enough for me for basic to moderate edits which included a lot of high res film negative scans. These days I use it in Ubuntu Studio LTS and Windows 11. Runs well in both but not surprisingly it's faster in Linux as the DE there is lighter (among other Linux advantages). Debloating Win11 might help but I won't bother with that. But ya, if I had the major budget I would have an Adobe subscription... but thanks, Ubuntu Studio!

I actually use it along side Photoshop a lot, cause like you said, these is just some things it does good, if not better in some instances.

While i can agree that Gimp is the best FREE alternative to PS, it is now only the second best alternative overall. I migrated to Affinity Photo and it is a spetacular software with a much better interface and a few more tricks than Gimp. The free alternative stood still without advancing for too much time and simply was left behind now. But it seems to be back on tracks. I just don't think that it is on pair to Affinity's alternative.

13:31 That happens even if you work in CMYK in Photoshop. CMYK is like that-you can’t even get the inks to look the same from one print run to the other. (Think about why it has to be “CMYK”, and not just “CMY”.) That’s why CMYK is best left to the print shop folks who are trained to cope with all those quirks. Your attempts at working CMYK are more likely hindering than helping. Consider that I can take my RGB files to a laser printer bureau in town and get nice prints straight off, no need to mess around with CMYK. Why shouldn’t offset print shops do the same?

The main thing is to work in a colour gamut that has the head room for the bit depth to preserve colour information. sRGB is to small for good quality photographic printing. AdobeRGB or ProPhotoRGB have much larger information space to allow for great results. sRGB is like an 8bit colour monitor vs the other 2 being like 10 to 12bit HDR Monitors. The other 2 colour spaces also well cover the colour gamut of CMYK.

Bit depth is something that Photoshop lacks. It has limited support for 16-bit pixel components, and none at all for 32-bit components or floating point. GIMP, on the other hand, can handle it all.

So much misinformation in the comment section. The sRGB color space fully encompases cmyk by a more than healthy margin. Also, I don't understand why that is being brought up in the first place, both GIMP and Photoshop support editing in much larger color spaces than sRGB.

Free programs feel much better than using paid programs, even if they have some less functionality. This literally affects my production, and I've seen others do the same. It literally cost me a lot to sculpt in Zbrush, its free version "Mini" came out, and I automatically felt that it handled the free tool much better than the paid one. Also with Blender, Krita, Freecad, Photopea. Seeing that this not only happens to me, but it happens to others, it makes me believe that spiritual things are real, even if they cannot be measured, if they can be perceived. God is real, like sin, although this sounds ridiculous or funny to some, it is real.

The main reason I stopped using GIMP (On Windows, at least) is because of plugin support. It's great that everything is, mostly, free and usually excellent, but when a gimp update occurs, often a plugin will stop working and you are reliant on a third-party coder to fix that problem. In my experience that often takes weeks or months, or even never. This all the more frustrating when it brings in a key Photoshop tool that you become used to using.

Great presentation. But i might be missing something. Correct me if i am wrong. Photoshops crop tool allows cropping to standard frame sizes (5x7 etc) at the resoltuion you need in one seamless action. Resizing or cropping in GIMP only allows you to set the width or height. The other dimension resets in proportion. Not to the standard mat or frame size. Is there something i am missing?

well done Mark, as a professional photographer and artist, but not one in a corporate environment, I will never go back to paid software especially Adobe, as the industry has moved on its positions and the way to do things with alternatives and adobe represent all that is wrong with that, Open source is the future I want to be a part of, but also it is the way of the future to keep artists and creative people free of unfair and predatory practices, so my advice for all creatives is going open source, work within the limits of open source contribute if you can and just do what you enjoy with the tool that is free of the financial burden that still does the job!

You barely touched on the biggest problems with Ps; that their juggernaut paid programming team cannot modernise the software. Allow me to elaborate and elucidate. Still stuck in 8-bit integer pixel pipeline. They will move to 16-bit integer, but only when doing HDR. Most other modern alternatives (incl. GIMP) use 32-bit floating-point pixel pipeline. They barely ever take advantage of modern multitasking/multi-threading CPUs. Most other options (incl. GIMP) do. They do not take advantage of the modern GPU hardware acceleration. Many modern alternatives (incl. GIMP) do. The result is less banding artefacts, reduced clipping, faster workflow, better batch processing. Ps does not easily take advantage of multi-monitor systems. GIMP has had that down for years, with their independent windows layout, (which used to be the default. Why did they change it? They still have it, it is just not the default anymore). Adobe is behind ALL their competitors when it comes to taking advantage of modern hardware systems. GIMP has been slow in recent years with upgrades, only because they were more concerned with doing a total rewrite to continue to take full advantage of modern hardware, going from GNOME2 to GNOME3, GTK+ To GEGL, 8-bit integer to 32-bit fp, multi-threading, GPU acceleration, et al, instead of adding a few new features for 1% of their users to use 1% of the time. Now that they are almost done that, (still doing the GEGL code conversion for version 3.0), their next move is implementing full non-destructive editing. (It made no sense to create that feature with a toolkit they were about to abandon, just to do it again with GEGL). Adobe, OTOH, seems more concerned with adding new features (for 1% to use 1% of the time), than catching up with hardware advancements. That is my biggest gripe with them, rather than the subscription model.

@@igorgiuseppe1862 yeah, I guess I was not thinking about the masses, but the pros. For the masses without multiple monitors, it may have been weird to have three panes on the same monitor, being individually resizeable/moveable, but quite logical for the pro with multiple monitors, the pro being a minority use case. Still, it was always an option, but now I see that it does make more sense for it to default to the majority use case, and not the intended use case.

If something better -or rather, something which may improve my work, whether it's speed or proficiency- comes along, learn it. Yes, most Ps users stay there, because that is what they know, but they are staying with an 8-bit, single threaded, non-GPU software title, not because it is the best, or the only one which does this-or-that, but because it is all they know, and all they want to know. I went from Deluxe Paint, (or was it, Paint Deluxe), Corel Paint, to Ps, to GIMP, to Jasc's PSP, to GIMP again, to Krita, and back to GIMP. I went from B&W film, to B&W slide, to color print & slides, to APS-C digital DSLR. I went from Lightroom to Light-something, to RawTherapee, to DarkTable. I went from DOS, to DOS with GEM, to Windows (WFW 3.11) to NT 4.0 to OS/2 Warp3/4, to SCO UNIX, to Win2000, to NetBSD, to Linux (various distributions). These are all tools, and it makes no sense to stay in one place, simply because it is the place one knows. But my original post was about the shortcomings of Ps, not of the people who still use it.

@@KarimHosein interesting insights about some of the hardware limitations of Photoshop. Also, when GIMP moved to a single window, I kind of liked it, mainly for one reason: when I would open something else and then go back to GIMP, the toolbars were still hiding. It was only recently I discovered that hitting tab hides/shows the toolbars. With this knowledge, I might consider changing the setting back to floating. I'm curious, what made you move from RawTherapee to DarkTable? I'm currently using the former, mainly because the latter doesn't have support for my camera's ARW raw format. :/

I had a spate of Illustrator and inDesign not working situations a few months ago in our company. It was due to the Nvidia drivers being literally a month old. Now, you won't get that on a Mac, of course, but we're slowly moving away from Macs due to Apple's various policies, mainly on repair and upgrading. Then, more recently Photoshop started crashing on many Mac users' computers requiring reinstalls. Of course, no one wants to use Gimp because it's "not professional", but the anger at Adobe's ever increasing system requirements is palpable and some people have at least started experimenting with alternatives.

Adobe Photoshop has always been way too expensive for my blood, so I've been using Corel PaintShop Pro since the JASC days. At least you can buy it for a reasonable price and pay for upgrades only if you feel you need them. At work they offered GIMP to use, so I got accustomed to it for basic photo editing. It has come a long way, but I still prefer PaintShop Pro.
