Photoshop has excellent selection tools that leave Gimp in the dust for me. I wonder what other free photoshop-replacements are out there (foss even better)?
Specifically needed for selecting objects, like trees and pets and people, and put into other photos.
»Adobe Throws Photographers Under the Bus Again: 'Skip the Photoshoot':
There has been a decades-long relationship between photographers and Adobe. However, the company’s recent public discourse and marketing have made some photographers feel uneasy and, in some cases, furious.«
If you don't want to be ripped off at your job, the open source software @GIMP, @krita and @darktable or @digikam ar helpful free tools.
Dear fediverse, what is an adequate freeware (even better, if #openSource) replacement for #Adobe#Photoshop for #Windows? Current needs: take a painting made by hand, make it a vector graphics image and do some other stuff with it. Sorry for being so vague, I'm totally blind, it's for my wife who is not on fediverse (yet). Thank you so much! #Help
This is a #watercolor painting I did a few months ago but hadn't share, until we bought a scanner here in #Greece. It arrived today, I scanned the painting under #Debian#Linux without any issues (or additional drivers), and I fixed the colors with #Gimp. It's the first time I use The Gimp for my paintings (I've used The Gimp on and off since its inception, but not for my artworks). I've been using #Photoshop instead for my collages and paintings, but I stopped my #Adobe subscription a few months ago. It's all #Foss now.
Right. Off to do sensible things. Happy to take suggestions for artworks that should contain a knitted chicken below. I've worked through my essential list 🖼️
Making a #MutualAid request. My wife lost her job and all the bills have fallen on me completely. I am about $300 shy of covering them. She has applied for unemployment benefits but bills are due by the 21st.
Dieses wunderschöne Exemplar eines Rotkehlchens hat mich mit seinem Gesang in seinen Bann gezogen. Die Sonne, die das saftige Grün im Wald so knallig gemacht hat, hat für einen schön cremigen Hintergrund gesorgt. Mehr Glück konnte ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt nicht haben.
Nach einigen Stunden des Aufstiegs, Kraxelns und Kletterns kam ich an diesem wunderschönen Ort an. Es fühlte sich an wie auf dem Dach der Erde, auch wenn es lange nicht der höchste Berg der Erde ist. Doch die restliche Wärme der Sonne, die Menschen um mich herum und dieser grandiose Ausblick machten das zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis 😍
