Someone (thanks @CmykStudent for discovering it!) shared this meme… about #ZeMarmot's Jehan, as @GIMP maintainer "hero developer"! 😅😎😱🤣

We were unsure what to do of it. In the end, just sharing it… for the fun. I should say "Thank you", I guess? 🤷🤗

I am pretty Adobe executives ignore Gimp existence as well as they ignore they own products...

@freezr @GIMP @CmykStudent The whole thing should more than likely be interpreted as a joke! Whoever wrote this even uses the style of "bad article" titles in a very obvious satirical manner. You should clearly not take any of this contents seriously. 😅

This being said, none at Adobe ignore GIMP. They historically even had a page comparing Photoshop with GIMP on the official website and we saw sometimes Adobe employees mentioning GIMP.

Sorry, it didn't get through that I was sarcastic about the Adobe Executives ; that ignore Gimp as well as they own products... 🙄

Most of the time executives don't even know what they workers are actually doing...

@freezr @GIMP @CmykStudent Ah lol ok. Sorry then, I was the one who failed to detect the humour, while I was mistakenly saying you were! 😂

@freezr @zemarmot @GIMP @CmykStudent they actually don't ignore GIMP existance ang are very well aware. They sometimes copy features and design decisions(Import/Export thing) from GIMP‚ and are open about it on their reddit. They also share(d?) a dedicated page just to compare GIMP and Photoshop for years now if not decades.

@rangelovd @freezr @zemarmot @CmykStudent someone from Adobe even worked with us on layer modes at one point. So there can be active cooperation too.
