RootyBuT I CaNT MaKE cIrCLeS in GiMp!
photoshop has got problems, but gimp and krita have the sort of problems that i never had using PS. like, completely missing functions and tools that are standard in PS. maybe there’s an extension, maybe there isn’t, and troubleshooting is time and energy spent when i have little to spare on making art or whatever
Tried Serif Affinity? Photoshop is great but it’s not worth that cash.
I’m not paying for it, my boss is
Your boss is also paying for time spent troubleshooting, which is why industry standards are a thing. People can help each other out, common issues only have to be solved once and the general pool of issues is smaller.
I work with 12 artists who all use maya. There’s enough troubleshooting to do on just that. Having some of them use blender, others modo, etc would be a nightmare.
