How much does Photoshop cost now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

$20 a month, no way to buy lifetime subscription, $50 a month to get all adobe products

Until recently their Creative Cloud subscription was $12. It includes Photoshop, 1TB cloud storage, Light room and a couple of smaller tools aimed at photographers. But it got pushed up to $20 because of inflation. My yearly subscription renewed a couple of months ago for the old price, so I'm lucky for now.

"Software I'm used to is easier for me than software I have no experience with."

What a fantastic insight.

you can't draw a circle in gimp?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can, it is very unintuitive though. You draw the shape using the eilpse tool and set a border for the selection.

It's not hard, but there is really no way to figure this out without ever looking for a tutorial.

It's absolutely stupid design and more difficult than it needs to be.

I'll say it - Photoshop is infinitely more intuitive than gimp for the average person. Sure, if you are fucking determined, I'm sure you can figure it out eventually. You can even make it work. But if you say it is easier than Photoshop, you are wrong.

I love FOSS stuff but way too many people are delusional about the pros and cons of it. There are absolutely cons.

I stand with op.
