Of the 2, I've come to prefer Krita. Acly replaces most of Photoshop's generative tools cleanly and improves upon them with features like pose vectors and live mode.

Krita is missing one feature that I rely on often - setting the white point in the levels tool.

Editor? It's a drawing software.

To save anyone from having to watch a video:

Edit > Preferences > Input Devices > Input Controllers > Main Mouse Wheel

In this menu, double-click "Scroll Up", and select view-zoom-in-accel. Then do the same to "Scroll Down" with the value view-zoom-out-accel.

Just did that, thanks👌.

btw the comand x me was just :

view-zoom-in

view-zoom-out

Kate, Geany and Micro are already pretty good.

I'd argue that they're even better than Notepad++. There's certainly no shortage of good text editors on Linux...

What about https://notepadqq.com/ ?

I do not think it impacts that. Have you used GIMP3? Way better text handling.

This is just wrong. I love foss and the effort put into gimp, but there are so many little ux things that it gets wrong.

The big one for me is non destructive resizing of pasted objects. Photoshop puts the little drag handles on them allowing for resizing, the top middle one allows you to rotate, holding the shift key locks proportions etc, all right away after pasting.

On gimp you can open a menu and specify the height and width, or you can click shift + s, which kind of works like Photoshops but is somehow clunkier & destructive when shrinking.

I also really miss smart objects and the universal tool options menu (not sure what it's called but it lives on the top of the canvas on PS and gives you all the relevant options for whatever tool you are using. I'm sure gimp has an equivalent but out of the box I find it much more correct and confusing.

As someone with no PS experience or other baggage weighing me down, I find the default UI to be insanely unintuitive. Im not even sure what the panels on the right or bottom are for, the left toolbar panel randomly disappears on me occasionally and I can never figure out how to get it back without closing and reopening GIMP. Things like Crop don't seem to do anything obvious. Painting with the brush doesn't work unless you first use the selection tool to draw a box around the area you want to use the brush. Etc, etc, etc. Some of this is obviously just because I'm a novice, and I manage to fumble my way through things, but at the same time it could be drastically simplified for simple tasks. It feels like a tool that was built for people who already knew how to use it.

Agreeable, but this patch is useful for people coming from photoshop, especially the shortcuts. The muscle memory is hard to fix 😙

I'll take 10 of whatever you're smoking because it's obviously the good shit

now that is one VERY controversial and brave opinion. I admire you for it.

Hell to the nawww
