Comment on Affinity’s new design platform combines everything into one app | The Verge
darkevilmac@lemmy.zip 6 days agoI’ve used both Photoshop and GIMP, in fact I used GIMP first and that’s what I learned on. Then I tried Photoshop and it was immediately way more intuitive as to where things are and how the UI works, same with Affinity based on my little experience with it.
Older FOSS stuff tends to struggle quite a bit with UX, which makes sense cause it’s mostly programmers and not UI designers working on it.

Honest question. When you learned on GIMP. Was the palette, the tool options, and the drawing area all separate windows? Because the Photoshop UI and layout has been default for a long time now.

It’s been long enough now that I can’t really remember off the top of my head. I want to say I started using Photoshop about a year or two after CS6 came out? And I would have been using GIMP for at least a few years prior to that before I had ever even seen the Photoshop UI.
