Show me how to change 1 pixel in an image. I’d actually be truthfully thankful and will consider to try to use gimp again (last time I tried the mouse didn’t position/choose the zoomed in pixels correctly).

i would assume the dropper tool, or something similar. I've never actually tried, as i do more image editing, rather than pixel doctoring, but i imagine it's possible. You could probably also just set the brush size to be 1 px. That would probably work.

Show me how to open an image, make a small modification, then: (step 2) save it and close GIMP under 10 clicks.

i don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with the mouse tbh. Keybinds are better, though less intuitive, and at the end of the day, it doesn't really make a significant difference, because if you wanted to do something quickly, you would simply use keybinds.

As for me though, i can open GIMP without touching my mouse, make a handful of edits, probably stitch a couple images together all without touching my mouse, and then save export and close GIMP, without having touched my mouse. But i'm not a try hard, so lol.

They deliberately changed so you can’t save your modified image? I mean WTF? You have to export it with all the popups as you overwrite, hold your breath, the image that you opened and want to save!!1!.

idk what you're even talking about here. You should absolutely just be able to hit CTRL s and have it do a project save, or probably the other bind, for the save as, and then just manually rename it.

Then trying to nag you into saving it to some unknown unused bizarre gimp extension.

you mean the XCF format? I'm pretty sure PS just works with those, if not it's probably just an average adobe skill issue session at play. They're fine.

It’s like they don’t want people to switch. And it’s such a shame as the soft is getting better and better all the time.

what could they do to make people want to switch? Copy photoshop? Use PSD? I don't disagree that the UI is a bit of a mess tbh, that's just how mouse navigated UI tends to be at the end of the day. Shitty.

yeah i hear myself just fine, i'm a WM user. I just don't use GIMP that heavily.
