minus-squarespartanatreyu@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoRaster editing programs can support vector shapes. They are rasterised during export, not when the shape is created. Look at how to create, move and transform a circle in photoshop (or if you don’t want to give adobe money, use photopea).
minus-squareCmykStudent@fosstodon.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months ago@SaharaMaleikuhm @spartanatreyu As of GIMP 3.2, we have vector layers: https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-3.2.html#vector-layers You can also export to vectorized PDF or SVG (with an option for Inkscape SVG to retain shared project settings). Inkscape is definitely the better choice for dedicated vector work, but vectors as part of a composition is possible now in GIMP.
