Comment on Hell freezes over, MS Paint adds support for layers and PNG transparency

Or color spasecs other than sRGB (8 bits/channel). I’ve a camera that takes 10 bits/channel photos, a monitor that displays 10 bits/channel, etc. But GIMP will just distort the colors because they hard-coded the color space! Can’t edit for print either, no CMYK. GIMP is an image editor for the noughties, not the 2020s.

Then again, we’re talking about MS Paint here. If Paint fills your needs, GIMP will be fine.

Not just 10bit. The Linux version still makes 8bit images more purple after saving.

Disagree. Paint’s function is to be the Notepad of images, something not very powerful but quick and dead simple.

GIMP is needlessly hard to use.

  Yes, Krita is by far a better editor.
