What are some other good open alternatives to GIMP?
Having been in the design trade for 20 years, I’ve mastered countless design applications, but GIMP’s UI is something I have always struggled with.
My goto these days has been photopea when I need something fast and free… but it’s not open and it’s ad supported.
I've heard PhotoGimp
mentioned as a more familiar UI, for those moving over from locked-in software.
Actual website --> https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP
Spam site ~~https://phtogip.com/~~
Idk it its new but the photgimp dot com link is rouge and directs you to spam. I believe this is the real one https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP
Thanks for heads up about the spam.
I've changed the link.
