Okay freetards. Photoshop is not Linux compatible. Clip Studio is not Linux compatible. Pant studio SAI is not Linux compatible. The only """good""" choice for Linux is Krita, which still has bugs. Why doesn't the community have little to no interest with art creation?

Good question. I actually prefer Krita to Sai, but there is no decent alternative to Photoshop. GIMP is just garbage by comparison.

the people who say GIMP is garbage are the ones too lazy/stupid to learn to use it

I learned it, moron. It still sucks by comparison.

This

I bet no one uses any of the arcane options of photoshop that weren't ported to gimp

The thing about Photoshop is that it can be used to manipulate images and create drawings. I can manipulate images with GIMP, but I'll be damned if I ever try to draw shit on that.

okay proprietary cuck. sounds like you didn't even try to run Photoshit under wine or in a vm. i.e, if Photoshit is your only reason why you insist on getting cucked by windows.

>Why doesn't the community have little to no interest with art creation?

Compare a version of Krita from a year ago with the most recent one.
The Krita devs do care. You should donate to them if you want the development to go faster.

>Wine

>still has bugs
Everything has bugs. If you want to iron out the bugs, help yourself - unless you're a talentless fuck, in which case you can just fuck off.

...

That's why you use Krita. GIMP+Krita = Best of both worlds

All the internet does is give a voice to stupid people.

Is that furshit software actually any good?

Better than Paint studio Sigh

I drive past Mebane everyday to Work.
If you think that's bad there's also a Climax Street, and Cum Park Plaza here.

>GIMP can't even snap when scaling

It's baby ducking to the max.

You can get work done using GNU/Linux to a really really high standard.
The Blender Open Movies are a perfect example of this. Urchin is another example of a group that make stuff using Free Software.

It's just a matter of what people are familiar with.

Most of the important skills with art aren't technical anyway. People who make good shit don't do well because "they are familiar with photoshop". It's because they are creative people.
A good artist will be able to make art with only literal shit.

Well, let's make a program!

>scale THEN move
what an idiot

Once the gimp devs learn how a context menu works it might become a usable price of software. I spend more time navigating the menus than I do drawing

The difference is the ui of most Linux software is complete shit people can't figure out how to use the software cause it's not intuitive. With photoshop you can figure out most things by just fucking around since the icons are easy to understand and the ui changes based on what you are doing. In photoshop I right click a rectangle and u get a list of relevant actions. In gimp I get the main menu with 100 different actions none of which are relevant to my situation. Blender is the same shit I'm editing a video and the ui is filled with 3d modeling options that have no impact on what I'm doing and I can't find the output settings cause it's buried under 10 other menus

then run photoshop in wine.

i'm running photoshop cs6 in wine (installed using playonlinux) and it works fine. and yes, it even works with your "special" copy.

Do GPU acceleration, 3D and third-party plugins work?

Acceleration, yes. Depends on the plugin. 3D functions are a total gimmick/distraction.

It's a miracle that you're running windows-compiled software on an entirely different OS in the first place. OS/2 is the only other platform I remember even coming close to what linux can do in this area.

I used it for years, it's not difficult but it feels unpolished and honestly pointless to use on systems with PS or other alternatives except for weirdo shit like creating XPM wallpapers for CDE

>Why doesn't the community have little to no interest with art creation?
Missing overlap between programmers and artists

Gimp wont be usable until non-destructive editing happens.

Krita will be/is the photoshop killer.

when in 2100?

when, 2100?

Ill make the logo

Yeah, it's actually decent as far as digital painting software goes. But just like blender which is actually decent modeling software it's lacking in the user interface department abit.

Prepare to put extra effort into getting used to navigating it. and navigating it compared to its pay for alternatives. Still, like other commenters have mentioned. Much better than Sai.

Kritas goals aren't to usurp photoshop or gimp. It's a digital painting tool. Nothing more nothing less.

...

Well, it completely replaces GIMP for my purposes and I've never been happier about it.

GIMP was an absolute nightmare to use - it's outdated software written by people with an outdated understanding of digital image processing, and fixing it is presumably too hard due to code momentum.

(It's also a buggy piece of shit, being Gtk-based as opposed to Qt-based)

I learned how to use it and it's still shit compared to Photoshop

Sorry but I know how to use GIMP and I know how to use Photoshop and I can say without an atom of doubt that GIMP is complete utter garbage. This is a verified fact.

Mind if I ask WHAT you do in Krita?

I've used Krita, GIMP and Photoshop. Gimp is a goddamn mess. I have no doubt that as a general purpose image editing tool that Krita does a better job than it, because coincidentally those basic tools also happen to have a great deal of value in digital painting.

Still, as a general purpose image editing tool PS blows both out of the water.

ImageMagick is the GOAT image manipulation program on Linux

It runs laps around photoshop while laughing at its incompetence in the algorithms department

Mostly stuff like opening images, drawing lines on them, pasting images on top of it then resizing them, blurring selected regions, drawing shapes and text, etc.

>Why doesn't the community have little to no interest with art creation
No interest IN art creation.

Stop making assumption, and look around. People use Krita all the time.

Because if that shit run OK in WINE why the fuck do they give a shit about proper support.

In a few years programs will output furry porn by reading your mind.

Has anyone tried running ArtRage through Wine?
