Skill issue.

BCAK error.

Still better than being dry bummed for a Photoshop loicense

Tell me you have never tried using GIMP or Linux without telling me you are a giant pussy

[ - ] Wahaha 3 points 5 monthsDec 2, 2024 14:49:36 ago (+3/-0)

Tell me you never tried to draw a circle using Gimp on Linux without telling me. There are long tutorials out there explaining how to do it and it takes about 17 steps more than it should to accomplish.

[ - ] Prairie 1 point 5 monthsDec 2, 2024 14:58:56 ago (+1/-0)

I gave it a try. I used the circle selection tool, held shift to make it a circle as I expanded, Select->Border, then Edit->Fill with FG Color. Not anti-aliased. I'm assuming the "correct" way is to make a path based on the selection, then fill that. Yep, make the circle selection, Select->To Path, then in paths tab do Stroke path (ohhh baby!) and you get a circle. I'm using an ancient GIMP (2.8) so it might be simpler/harder in newer versions.

Writing this down and expecting a convoluted series of steps to be an adequate solution to the problem of drawing a circle in software is quite worrying. By the time you figured out that you need to start with a selection tool you should have realized how awful this entire solution is.

Drawing a circle should be as simple as drawing a line. Or drawing a triangle. Or drawing a star. Or whatever other shape. It should be one step.

lol. Tell me you have never used gimp OR Photoshop without telling me you have never done anything outside of MS Paint. This is why you can take entire college courses on photoshop

I don't have Windows, so obviously I never touched photoshop. But you don't need to take a college course in photoshop to determine how awful a given piece of software is. I use ImageMagick for image editing on Linux.

[ - ] Prairie 0 points 4 monthsDec 2, 2024 17:00:24 ago (+0/-0)

I think these tools started as photo editors. The selection route gives more power. I personally dislike tools which commit each step, without the ability to edit each step individually later. Adobe Illustrator took this approach, where everything is a vector and editable.

[ - ] Wahaha 0 points 4 monthsDec 3, 2024 04:43:56 ago (+0/-0)

Allowing for things to happen in a single step doesn't mean disallowing things to happen in multiple steps.

[ - ] Prairie 0 points 4 monthsDec 3, 2024 09:29:35 ago (+0/-0)

Not sure what that's referring to. I was just highlighting the general limitations of pixel-based editors over object-based (usually vector) ones.

[ - ] Glowbright 1 point 5 monthsDec 2, 2024 15:41:10 ago (+1/-0)*

You don't even need to convert to a path, just Edit>Stroke Selection... (At least in v2.10 and up. I don't have 2.8 running anywhere)

[ - ] Glowbright 1 point 5 monthsDec 2, 2024 15:35:30 ago (+1/-0)

Lol. You are a faggot.

Step 1: Open Gimp and click the little triangle at the bottom of the rectangle tool and change it to the ellipse tool

Step 2: Make sure the 'fixed aspect ratio' box is checked and 1:1 is selected

Step 3: Draw a fucking circle

(1) At Step 3 you only have a circle selection tool, not a drawn circle. How do I make it a red circle that actually draws on the canvas, one that isn't filled so I can circle things on an image to indicate they are important?

(2) Drawing a circle should be a single step.

Edit>Stroke Selection...

This is what your tutorial gave me. You call that a circle?

[ - ] Glowbright 0 points 5 monthsDec 2, 2024 15:56:49 ago (+0/-0)

You skipped Step 2. You are either a troll or an idiot

[ - ] Wahaha 0 points 4 monthsDec 3, 2024 04:47:56 ago (+0/-0)

I did not skip Step 2, even if I did it would only lead to an ellipse instead of a circle. What I'm complaining about isn't the shape, but that I can see small rectangles. This is neither a circle nor an ellipse. It's an ugly mess.

(2) Drawing a circle should be a single step.

These steps are literally the exact same steps you would go through in Photoshop.

The problem here is that you are looking for a tool with training wheels like MS Paint. The problem with that is that you quickly reach the limits of what it can be done with one click... that's why MS Paint is nearly useless

[ - ] Wahaha 0 points 4 monthsDec 3, 2024 04:49:10 ago (+0/-0)

No, I'm looking for a tool that isn't designed to be as unintuitive as possible, which is why I do all my editing in ImageMagick instead.

You are a giant pussy


Well, I couldn't do it.

Sounds like it was written by an Apple fanboy.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 4 monthsDec 2, 2024 16:40:50 ago (+0/-0)

Mostly written by windows users who couldn't afford a Mac, and were thrilled to finally have someone to look down on.

How old is this?

I thought all Windows and Mac programs like that have become browser based, and require a monthly subscription.

I get beat up in the parking lot after school

Serves anon right, if they don't even know how to run linux. Probably a 'jeet, or a soy-infested bedwetter.

[ - ] Trope 1 point 4 monthsDec 3, 2024 00:53:33 ago (+1/-0)

Yea, Linux is pretty gay.

But not as gay as Windows or OS X.

[ - ] rabidR04CH 1 point 4 monthsDec 2, 2024 20:50:22 ago (+1/-0)

I can use my NVME's hardware acceleration by installing Windows; with Linux, I'd be forced to use software encryption and take a 400% hit on random read/write performance in addition to supporting a product made by and for transsexuals. Fuck Linux.

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 4 monthsDec 2, 2024 16:36:17 ago (+1/-0)

I read those actual stories on r/linux for years.

Fake and gay.

Everyone knows Photoshop support in Wine is complete ass, doesn't work, and would never even try it.

Fucking newfag.
Next time use gimpfu.
