I've tried to switch to #Inkscape & #Gimp about half a dozen times & tried other #FOSS solutions too - here's my highly subjective take: FOSS won't replace proprietary #software until the UX gets better.
I think FOSS tends to be "code forward", with the UI as a secondary consideration - an engineer mindset-driven approach which leaves a lot of users with an experience they can't get used to, even if they want to.
Is there a way for UX folks to contribute, like coders can?
Canva acquires Serif’s Affinity Suite, and I can’t help feeling doom about this.
I’ve worked with Canva in the past and they were good people, but this feels like a move towards subscriptions. I guess that’s kind of inevitable these days anyway, but being bought out often signals the end. I love the Affinity suite and I hope I’m wrong.
If people fully stop supporting private companies with subscription models and embrace support of Open Source projects, either financing or colaborating to improve them, all this crying will end overnight. #gimp#inkscape#krita
Mildly bitter sketch Friday. The more stylized the graphic, the less likely a highly opinionated project like any of the "foss creative suite" is open to change. /me slightly disappointed about all the bland identities.
This is a good tutorial for morphing two still images into an animated GIF with GIMP
I’ve been wanting to animate the building of a Lego set but have been struggling to find really good morphing software. Most seems to be designed for faces, or they do plain animation with no morphing at all.
Eventually, after looking at a few op ...continues
That file should look like the image below when converted to a png/jpg. However, imagemagick, gmic, and ffmpeg can't open it. #GIMP can open it in its GUI but opening/saving sometimes takes forever. In theory converting would be quicker in GIMP on the command line as it'd be automatic and I could just leave the computer going for an hour or however long it needs. However, I'm using a beta of 2.99/3.0 and the usual commands (https://superuser.com/a/1558320) don't seem to work.
Soooooo, I either generate some glitched sgi files that can be read by imagemagick, slog it out in GIMP or keep looking for other files that can work with glitched image files, specifically sgi files.
With the news that @GIMP is expected to finally launch its 3.0 release in May... I'm wondering if I should hold off on learning how to use the app, until they actually release it?! 🤔
J'avais envie de lui faire une caisse en bois, pour me venger, et de lui dire "Tu vois cette caisse... ton temple grec il est dedans..."
Mais bon...c'était faire le taf 2 fois. 😜

The newest one featuring Ingenuity isn't any better either. Needs much more contrast too, which, I guess, will be improved once the focus gets sharper. But the image uses less than half of the pixel value range:
