Even Windows 1.01 Paint can draw circles, and yet GIMP cannot. How can GIMP even compete like this?

typical linux autist answers:
1. Yes it can
2. Why do you want to draw a circle?
3. There's no need to draw a circle.
4. What graphic card are you using? Works for me.

Or just use Krita. Who even recommends GIMP these days?

Heh, but those are ovals, user.

Socialism doesn't need competition.

All you have to do is use the ellipse select tool, set the aspect ratio to "1:1", create a circle shaped area selection, open the paths dialog, click "selection to path", click "paint along path", specify the stroke style that you would like, and then click stroke to draw a circle in GIMP.


You don't honestly find that to be too difficult, do you?

One is a paint program, the other is an image manipulation program.

The last thing I want is for someone to see this on my computer screen and think that I like to fuck furries.

Astute observation

Why are are linuxicans so retarded.

xfig doesn't have this problem

Just replace the image then.

I know that you don't get out of the basement very often if that's what you think most people would think of someone that has that image as a wallpaper, let alone as a splash image shown for a couple of seconds.

>gimp
>draw a circle in twenty-five simple steps

I know that you are mentally retarded.

GIMPfag here. That's how it's SUPPOSED to work.
But take a look at this screenshot. See anything suspicious in it? Yep, that's right. There is a small flat dimple in it. It appears most of the time you do the trick you've mentioned.
You want a perfect circle? I don't think you can guarantee it with that method.

in mspaint this is just one step

hahahahaha jesus christ gimp is even worse than I thought. It can't even select a circle.

Wow great comeback man. I'm sure you'll gather enough courage that way to eventually accomplish something of worth in your life .

...

> I have never had the need to draw or select perfect circles in a single player image that I have edited before

This is their excuse for everything.

confirmed for angry retard

Found the furry

I assume this is how it works:
1) it selects a raster (not vector) circular area
2) it then traces said pixel area with vector
and obviously the approximation will easily get fucked. t. tried countless times to have straight lines in it and gave up.
and if you select a very small (5px) circle, picrelated is what you'll get. But even on 4k res, it will get fucked, still.

oh yeah, and to add: this is a line of a circle 2000px wide, closeup.

Fucking how. They are decades behind Photoshop, and they don't even need to design anything, just copy.

I assume that's the part of GIMP "philosophy": have 1 tool for everything where you actually need more.
Anyway as far as free software goes, they're not so bad I guess… At least as far as shopping/editing goes. Too bad it has plenty retarded, unexplainable flaws like this one.

>paint a mandatory green pepper
>select a circle
>selection border 10 pixels

Honestly
>using an >image manipulation program for doodling
You can draw circles but it's not the most intuitive way of doing so.
Here's your you also sage

>>paintbucket the selection border

...

>32 bit color
"coming with GEGL in X years". AFAIK can be done with some recent builds but it's not there yet
>layer effects
It has effects, but they're destructive
>rotating text without rasterizing it
you can do it by vectorizing it. but again, you won't be able to edit it after that

...

Just use Krita

The worst kind of brainlet is the one that thinks doing petty things in the most inefficient way makes him smarter. Get a brain and start being productive.

oh yeah, except do you notice anything? that's right, the corners are blurry. and if you uncheck "feather", they will be jagged because no antialiasing.
if you want to go this way, make selection, fill, then click "shrink selection" and cut. but still it's not very convenient, to say the least

...

OK, so literally none of the issues are resolved. And this image is five years old because it references Word '13.

Why, I do use them. Except you will still get fucked with the circle no matter what you try. Or are you saying you made a circle with beziers from scratch?

>Anyway as far as free software goes, they're not so bad I guess

No, it's terrible. Other free software is better than GIMP, which is a joke against humanity.

...

y-you don't like my onion tool user?

I think my method is easier to remember than the path tool, even if the edge is not as fine. I can't even remember the last time I had to draw a circle outside of this thread, so I'll probably forget the other method anyway by the time I need it the next time. Which might be never.

Who even draws circles all the time if they aren't making a stick figure comic or something? How is this even an issue?

filters>render>gfig

poor gimp.
It's pretty good for really complex free software. I'm sure their codebase has shit layered on top of a mountain of older shit. I'm still pretty impressed with it overall, even though it's weird.

Just came to laugh at this thread. No wonder Adobe has a monopoly on the market when freetards can't even draw a simple circle.

/thread

Also, I see you didn't turn off hinting on text? Good luck with that. In most cases, it will garble it, or even make it look totally different. But did you know it actually changes the VECTOR shape of your text? So if you do "text to path", you can get a different looking font.

path tab> export path.

>someone to see this on my computer screen and think
grow up, you're literally more of a manchild than fucking furries

You're literally more of a retard than Corky Thatcher.

Why wouldn't GIMP just copy whatever photoshop has/is doing?

Gimp is a Gnome project.
As such it has to follow the tradition of rejecting popular feature requests.

>using specialized filters to render a fucking circle
>still not vector
like what software exactly?
if you get used to GIMP it's ok for basic shopping, memes etc.

youtube.com/watch?v=s4z7f2_BpBA

I remember a time when gimp was fairly competitive with photoshop, my how times change.

this. if they weren't asinine, they'd implement geometric figures, layer styles and non-destructive editing. but they'd rather add a new transforming method than fix basic stuff.

...

Paint.net

>itt people who don't get how paths in gimp work
There is always a trade-off between simplicity and functionality, and gimp is doing just that.
Sure, it could place a handy button for drawing geometric shapes, but that would make it inconsistent with how everything else works in it, making it a mess.
Gimp is actually pretty darn good, but it does some things differently than other programs and people don't realize you have to learn it a bit.
Comparing gimp to paint is pointless, because they have completely different purposes.

t. mouth-breathing mongoloid

...

I don't know about that. Does it have the essential filters, blending modes, gradients, guides, grids, vector tools, curve adjustments, etc? I haven't used it but I doubt that.

>Furries trying to defend their animal sex drawing programs
Pathetic

paint.net is a waste of disk space.
No matter how much your baby duck syndrome makes you hate gimp, recommending paint.net as a suitable replacement is going a bit overboard. I mean, let's be a little bit sensible here.

It's not "simple" because it makes things less convenient. I already showed in why that is retarded.
The same goes for making a star or a triangle in GIMP. Yeah I know you could go to brush designer. First, that'd be raster. Second, make me a pentagram star in brush designer. I'll wait.

You're a waste of space, shit for brains.

Don't worry, you never get into such situation in your basement in the first place. Not that anyone would actually even care.

> Using plugins to draw a fucking circle

...

free for gimp
$49.99 for photoshop
>I can understand your aversion to plugins.

> Paying for Photoshop? KEK
> Even MS fucking paint can draw circles

open 2000px-Five-pointed_star.svg.png in gimp.
export as star.gbr to gimp brush folder.

>tfw you needed to vectorize text to outline it properly, which you didn't and so your text edges are cut off
>tfw you rendered a star and it still not perfect, see upturned edges
yep

I used layerfx to stroke the font and left it at 88 percent of inside-outside, where I left it last.

oh yeah, why make a star when you can just download it
download circle too

Does it keep corners, and does it work non-destructively? Usually I use text to path, then stroke with solid line. That way it keeps the corners

GIMP can't compete

When is GIMP getting filepicker thumbnails?

>needing computers to draw a circle when a pen and paper works fine

>needing pen and paper when chunks of coal and cave walls work just fine

I'd just love to watch you try drawing one perfect circle using just a piece of paper and a pen in one million tries.

...

those are circles in perspective. way more advance stuff so you know.

Imagine being this much of insecure and mad just because of some anthro. animal. This is why it's nothing healthy to base all of your emotional rage over such a simple thing.

The Photoshop shills are really stepping up their game.
Is adobe pulling them out of development department instead of the mailroom now? Looks like the prospect of gimp 3 has really got them shitting their pants.

> Not using a CD as a template

Do you even compass?

It works on a new layer, I guess that's non destructive.
layerfx is in the gimp-plugin-registry package, as well as a gimp script and a python script. I think the python script is the fanciest one, if I remember.

>not being ordered by the queen to manually execute the bresenham circle algorithm by communicating the instructions to the rest of your colony in a series of dance steps

...

Just a piece of paper and a pen, faggots. Stop cheating.

I see. Well, you still can't edit text so that the outline would change automatically. So I see little point in that layerfx plugin, you can do better with "stroke path" because you keep corners. And even without corners, I can alt-click a layer thumbnail, grow selection, and fill it in a new layer below the selected one.

The correct solution to this is
1) Circle selection tool with holding shift or ctrl (don't remember)
2) Select -> Border

>tfw haven't needed to draw a circle in GIMP in about a year now
pissed me the fuck off when I did need it though
IIRC, I think I ended up just drawing it in something else and copying it in.
