Downloading and actually using GIMP

:iconpmmurphy:

Such an amazing tool that i wonder why i planned to upload images on an art website without one.

Now i can take photos indoors of my large pieces and be able to revamp them so they are actually visible. When i don't have the luxury of nice sunlight.

Not only that but if my scanner doesn't work right i can make small adjustments accordingly. Or if im flat lazy i can alter the affects of my artwork to achieve my goal in the first place.

Basically.... Why did i do art without it?

I wish i could use gimp well, i've barely touched the software, and i get intimidated by all the buttons etc...

I know :) What's the difference between the two software, do you know? (Aside from price of course)

GIMP :heart:. I use it for everything. I did download PS5 and PTS but Sai's inability to give me transparent layers shits me off and PS is way too complicated to get my head around. Though I often make copies of my work and save like every 5 seconds. It has these weird bugs and stuff sometimes and crashes, I lost like 2 hours or something of extremely detail line art. :iconlazycryplz:
