I’m not trying to make a painting with a drawing tablet, though. I just want to edit the alpha values of an image. From what I can tell, nothing offers that type of basic image editing. Paint.net comes close, but even that can be finicky and relies on community addons that often become unavailable.
GIMP is awful though. I havent seen the new ui yet, but the old one was unusably bad
try krita, specially for digital painting with tablet

Make a circle.
Good fucking luck.
Have you considered that photoshop is also awful, and pretty much visually 1:1 to gimp at a glance
