      Yup. Night and day. It’s still not going to satisfy those used to Photoshop or rely on cmyk tools and support. Though 3.0 is supposed to make major strides on that as well as non destructive editing IIRC.

        I’ve never found anything I needed to do difficult or not possible in gimp. The folks that rely upon proprietary photoshop only plug ins or have simply only used photoshop, they’ll never like gimp because they must relearn stuff. Has nothing to do with the abilities of the software. The folks that claim photoshop is “better designed” are simply making justifications for keeping the proprietary software costs to avoid learning the new software.
        Use whatever you like but do understand it is a choice of convenience and nothing more.

          Yes but no. Relearning a program is one thing but the biggest problem with GIMP is: no non destructive editing. In the professional field GIMP is basically out of the question because of that

              It’s not about undoing. It means you can do things like edit something, change something else and then change the original change and then have the second change change accordingly to the change of the first change. This is something most professional or semiprofessional photoshop users I know need which GIMP doesn’t offer, that’s one of the main reasons people use photopea

                So undo with layers. Just like gimp. The only thing gimp does not offer is the folks pretending to be professionals learned photoshop in school instead.
