Yup. The interface doesn't resemble CS very closely, but it's certainly usable. It has gotten a lot more CS-like recently, but the program was originally designed with the idea that you'd have the content pane in the whole window or screen, and access everything via right mouse click. It's got levels, it's got curves, it's got alpha channels, layers 'til you're blue in the face, fully adjustable brushes, grab an image and use it as a brush; gradients, feathered selections, script-fu with all kinds of nonsense. I think it's great; it's open source so you can donate with money, pay for it with code, or use it for free.
LOL! I do find it annoying that the floating dialog and the tool settings don't seem to talk to each other and that setting changes don't take effect unless the text within the layer is selected, but these things aren't so bad as to make me quit GIMP for Paint. I'm guessing your move tool isn't set to "Move the selected layer" (I forget the exact wording of the other option, but it selects whatever layer it considers visible under the cursor when you put down the LMB - I cussed that one out because of how often it and I disagreed on which layer I was clicking on. Changing that might fix most of your problem, if you don't mind the inconvenience of having to hit Ctrl-Z and finding the layer you thought you had selected from the Layers list every now and then.) However, if I'm doing only a text, maybe a comic bubble, crop or 2^int resize, I just use Paint. These are actually easier to do in Paint than faffing around with selections and paths - 'cus as powerful as GIMP is, it lacks simple tools for doing simple things and using the powerful tools to do the simple things is often a pain in the ass. If you look at my images at https://thedonald.win/u/featherwinglove/?type=post and find any that don't have a semi-transparent feature, it was never opened in GIMP (I checked and if the main thing I need GIMP for is tiling multiple images, but I add text and consistently use semi-transparent text boxes. That said, I did find an exception in my saved files just now, so that probably won't be true for my TD.W posts forever. It was also obvious that tiling images was the main thing in that image. Wait, I think it's on Reddit, brb... https://redd.it/i5dt5m )
You don't even need to edit them now like you needed to photoshop side-of-beef into side-of-beef (cattle) now, - a lazy ms paint slapping a 2 word caption, 10 seconds later it's live online.
This site is addicting I am here every waking hour. Sometimes it is bad before bed because if bad news comes in I get all riled up. At bed time I'm hoping for silly Pepe memes.
I’m with you. I think we are feeling the post depression euphoria from seeing that commie shit murderer die. I feel like maybe that was a turning point. Looking to .win for smiles and no more dark shit like last week was. Poor Jay, could have been any One of us.
Could be worse Pepe, the government could be cutting you off of making memes of all of the crazy stuff they’re doing. Like UK, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand
Yep, I was about to head out and do yard work, then saw Harris visited that idiot rapist in the hospital, the one who raped his former girlfriend, stole her car keys, resisted police, was tasered twice, went for a knife and was shot. No yard work just yet...
Photoshop is barely needed at this point. I mean, it's really just a Pepe emulator. This shit is somehow writing itself
GIMP is adequate.
Do you recommend it? I currently use online editors to make some shit-tier simple memes, would like to take it to the next level.

I mean ... after the 17 minutes of inner and outer laughter ... gotta meme it, yes?
Would be criminal not to meme an idiot commie lighting himself on fire .. right?
"Why'd that commie have to go light himself on fire? This Photoshop crash is going to hurt worse than the last one...".
LOL this is so accurate...every time I want to take a break from it the crazy knob cranks up another notch. what a cycle.
Either 2nd term Trump Makes America Normal Again, or we the people will.
lmao thats how far we've fallen as a country..."make America normal again"
Arent we all?
It’s not easy bein’ memes...
Don't be sad, anti-Commie memes are fun.
Stupid government.
We are here to share the load, pede.
All of this is hilarious. I can’t stop checking .win for fear I’ll miss the comedy making itself. Please God give us a breather.

What did I miss???
I am Q!!!!! :-)
Wrong. I am Q!
lol this is me shit spamming mma forums with burning feet antifa memes today
I was first curious how a new account could already be holding back on memes, then I checked. Impressive ratio!
That guy should be the Democrats mascot. The whole scenario played out like a kind of metaphor for Democrat beliefs and what they support:
I'm healthy, I'm free, I have a good life ...I can fix that!
Let me just try to burn it all down.
Now I'm the one suffering from it.
Thank God! Someone is here to save me from myself!
I've learned nothing from my mistakes and will continue voting Democrat
I have that doll, from when I was a kid!
I love the meme “I could have been home playing with my cat, but you had to be tyrants” as the guy locks and loads!
Could be worse Pepe, the government could be cutting you off of making memes of all of the crazy stuff they’re doing. Like UK, Australia, Canada, or New Zealand
Definitely stickie worthy post! Kek
Just post your memes ...... just post em.
Yeah, really deep. Definitely more deserving than the Rising and new with a ton of comments and intelligent conversations.
Yep, I was about to head out and do yard work, then saw Harris visited that idiot rapist in the hospital, the one who raped his former girlfriend, stole her car keys, resisted police, was tasered twice, went for a knife and was shot. No yard work just yet...
People be salty today
Dude I'm not even trying anymore. My memes are cut and paste, layered over one another and pumped out to the masses.
It's a sickness really, the spicier the meme the better lol jk
Someday we'll find it, the Epstein connection
The lovers, the memers and me
There's something new literally every single day.🤣
Kek!
Made me LOL here all by myself.
