This should be helpful for people that learned Photoshop in the past (for work or in school). From what I understand, a lot of the friction with GIMP is the workflow differences, and potentially unintuitive UI/UX choices.
tldr: recovering Adobe Photoshop user shows you features in the very free and very open source gnu image manipulation program :D
my relevant GIMP config files: https://github.com/BreadOnPenguins/dots/tree/master/.config/GIMP/3.0
GIMP documentation: https://www.gimp.org/docs/
I really wish gimp had a command palette, kinda like the Ctrl+Shift+P thing in VSCode. As a beginner in gimp I often know approximately what I want to do, but not how to find that thing and just being able to type “crop”, “scale”, “add layer” and have it happen would be much easier than having to look for it through various menus.
It totally does! Default hotkey “/” or from the menu: Help → Search and Run a Command
This is great! Gonna try this later
