GIMP 3.0 Released - Divisions by zero

Lemmy

Man, after decades, why does GIMP still have a marketing problem?

Just visit www.gimp.org and compare it to www.adobe.com/ca/products/photoshop.html

Just assume both did exactly the same thing and cost the exact same amount (free or otherwise). Which would you choose based on their website?

Why does GIMP (and pretty much all FOSS) have to be so secretive about their product? Why no screenshots? Why not showcase the software on their website?

It’s so damn frustrating that every FOSS app appears to be command line software, or assumed that the user knows everything about it already.

Devs, you might have a killer piece of software, but screenshots go a long way to help with gaining interest and adoption.

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program: The Free and Open Source Image Editor

GIMP
Open Source software is not a product that needs marketing.
The devs making Gimp gain literally nothing from you downloading and using it.
Stop applying capitalist logic to one of the few aspects of life that haven’t been monetized yet.
Other programs like Photoshop lose money though. FOSS devs should just quit as they’re their own competition.
