![]() ![]() I think the main problem with GIMP is getting to grips with what the various layer modes can do. At that sort of level final adjustment of each element would be problematic. I also see various styles of brushes as being essential at times also healing and cloning and the other bits and pieces.ģ00 layers? I’ve heard of people using 15 in PS if they are really struggling maybe a few more. That way if the image that they are being applied to needs discarding due to the need for a change the mask is still available, Mask aren’t destructive they can be changed. What I should bottom out on that area is if it’s possible to always have them in channels. Personally I see painted layer masks as an essential at times. The chances are that the GIMP will be able to do it. There is a need to understand the nuts and bolts of what is being done to the image and doing that “manually”. A better description would be that this aspect isn’t automated as it is in PS. Doesn’t have adjustment layers often crops up. Last time I heard which was some time ago no one from the Linux community was working on the GIMP. It also took a while to realise that it can handle layers and just how to adjust the blend size of brushes. The only thing I didn’t like was the size of the curves panel - too small. I used it out of curiosity until the demo period ran out. On the pay for side it’s pretty well covered really - After Shot Pro. On the GIMP if say a curve done previously needs adjusting later it has to be done from a fresh curve. Many aspects of the GIMP are like that compared with say PS which will group layers and tools into one function and also apply them sequentially retaining current settings. Unfortunately the setting used for what ever change was made are lost and some processes say sharpening can’t be undone - a layer can be saved though before doing it. Higher bit depths will help anyway not ideally but it means info wont be lost so can be adjusted again and again. Rather than being destructive I see it’s main failing being that if the history stack is used it can mean repeating processing steps again but that to a certain extent depends on how it’s used. I mostly use it for layer work and see it as semi destructive in that respect. GIMP and destructive editing does in my view varies according to how it’s used. ![]()
