    Those reasons being stealing people’s work for AI garbage.

    Fuck Photoshop. Use Gimp and/or Krita.

        I use Krita professionally on a daily basis, it’s fantastic. It has some rough edges but absolutely nothing that prevents you from having work done. It also beats the Adobe suite hands down when it comes to ergonomy, and the performance with big files is really good (I work on formats up to 14k*7k for print, no issues).

            Yes it does ! I feel bitter because it’s such a waste of good engineering. I’d love it if all these developers just migrated to FOSS projects. I’m sure with the right communication you could secure crowd funding and let Adobe be a thing of the past

        I use all 3 for professional work. Might not be good for your job but it’s been great for mine.

          First problem, that URL link goes to a dead website for me, which is a major issue given the name of Paint.Net is it’s URL…

          But yeah I mean sure Paint.Net is good in terms of functionality!

          I wouldn’t recommend it over Gimp though, sure Gimp is annoying but Paint.Net is a shovel where as Gimp is a fully featured construction crew with excavators and equipment. Different uses and design goals but the important bit is you can easily ask a construction crew to dig a random hole for you whereas it is much harder to ask a shovel to clear a building site and dig out a pit for a foundation for you… so I tend to recommend familiarizing yourself with Gimp and just skip Paint.Net unless you have a specific need where it fits better.

          Learn Gimp once and use it the rest of your life, shrugs it is the nature of successful Open Source projects like this that after they reach a critical mass of functionality from two decades of development or so there just isn’t a great reason to go with anything else in my opinion (unless you want to drop money on a paid image editor from a company less shitty than Adobe).

          Gimp will be around, being developed and used all over the world long after you are dead. Paint.Net mightttt be if it continues to grow.

          Thanks, I’ll give it a go! How’s the denoiser in the software? I’ve really grown fond of LR’s “ai” denoiser. For the most part, ai is bullshit. But it does wonders for denoising. I suppose there are some good standalone applications for that, right? Photography is just a hobby, so I don’t really know much about these things.

            I haven’t used the ai denoiser but the noise reduction in Darktable seems decent to me, has lot’s of options. I am pretty new to raw image manipulation so maybe I’m missing something I don’t know about but it seems fine?
