Gimp sucks. That’s why people on Linux rather use krita to edit photos and it wasn’t even built to do that.

Gimp is a horrible mistake that should literally be killed off and it should be put into a failure museum to serve as a warning and a reminder how Foss can take a wrong turn and many free development hours are spent towards building the wrong things and continue to disappoint any user that tries it.

You don’t get it.

If you’re not spending hours trying to figure out how to do the most basic shit then it’s not for you, pal. Ever heard the expression pressure turns coal into diamonds?

That’s right.

That’s because we’re not bitch ass pussies. Last night I spent five hours trying to merge some layers, and you know what? Worth it! I read the docu, had a back and forth with the developers and after they threatened to kill my family I got it. I’m now a proud member of th Gimp Club Tm (choker and gag ball not included).

Ya gotta give to get some, Shirley. Now move over, I need to block out the rest of the day so I can figure out how to export a PNG.

That’s fucking stupid. What are you even doing in this community. It seems like you’re completely against the idea of investing time. Gonna guess you are a fan of Windows

This comment was exactly for people like you. Criticism of Gimp and you went straight to:

You must like windows, huh? I bet you take that Steve Ballmer Bill Gates double d all day

Ya boiiiiii I’ll take the Ballmer Dick any day over having to endure opening that abhorrent nightmare of an interface from hell

Couldn’t understand you with the MS shaft down your throat

so I can figure out how to export a PNG.

File > Export As

Under ‘Select File Type’ choose png, or name the file anything ending in .png

Click Export. Leave the settings as-is or tweak them if you know what you’re doing

Confirm

I spent five hours trying to merge some layers

Right Click the Layer

In the context menu, click Merge Down

Your examples suck. Got any real examples?

Issa joke pal. No need to cry crocodile tears about it. No, pal, I don’t like windows. Why even bring that up? I just don’t like the attitude you guys have whenever someone dares criticize your precious Gimp. No I haven’t used it in ten years because it was a nightmare to figure out the most basic functions

I thought jokes were supposed to be funny? What’s the joke here? GIMP is bad? Who finds that funny?

If all you got from this is gimp bad then I can’t help you brother.

lurch (he/him)Jun 16, 2024

lol this person can’t merge layers in gimp. there’s at least 3 obvious ways to do it, e.g. right clicking on a layer.

It’s called being hyperbolic. I know you guys only understand literal readings of things.

lurch (he/him)Jun 16, 2024

it’s called mockery. try to keep up

You just gave instructions on how to merge layers. Which part is the mockery exactly

LinyosT Jun 16, 2024

Got to love it when people think they’re making a statement when they’re really just exposing themselves.

Merging layers? There’s a button on the layer window that does just that. You can also right click -> merge.

Exporting PNGs? File -> Export -> File Type at bottom of the window -> PNG

Not that hard unless you’re somehow incredibly inept.

Woosh. I love how this comment went over 99% of you people. You’re so predictable

LinyosT Jun 16, 2024

Most people that complain about GIMP don’t actually know that.

ricdeh Jun 16, 2024

How stupid must you be that merging layers takes you hours? It is a single button press. Exporting PNGs is a matter of under 10 seconds. It is clearly labelled in the dropdown menu.

Wooosh

Gimp is for Chads only I guess. :D

I’m soft with my UX requirements and time constraints.

If you’re not clicking through 20 menus to do one thing then I can’t help you brother you’re just a pleb

I want to be offended, but people that have seen me criticise Gimp have called me so many worse things, that with “pleb” I don’t feel anything anymore.

Try at least mentioning that I’m an Adobe abused demented slave or something of sorts.

I had some dirty stuff in the barrel that involved Shantanu Narayen but I don’t want to get banned yet.
