Flatpak (Linux)
In order to install the newest version of PhotoGIMP on your Linux operating system using Flatpak, just follow this simple steps:
-
Make sure you already have GIMP installed from Flathub; (for Ubuntu/Mint user just select Flatpak below the install button in the manager)
-
Start and quit GIMP after you installed before you continue!
-
Download the files from this repository or just click here - > https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP/releases/download/3.0/PhotoGIMP-linux.zip
-
Extract the content of the zip file on your home folder (.config and .local - they are the important ones) and overwrite the files if needed; (if you can’t see the file click Ctrl+H to see hidden files)
-You’re done, enjoy it! 😄
While that is an important distinction. It still needs to be said that Krita is a drawing program like Inkscape and Illustrator not a photo editing program like GIMP or Photoshop.
Yeah, that’s kind of a thing; the Adobe suite kind of doesn’t have a raster drawing program, Photoshop gets used for that but Photoshop is meant to be a photo editor.
A “digital artist” or “digital painter” will want to use Krita, a “graphic artist” designing logos or signage is gonna want Inkscape, and people wanting to lie via photograph want GIMP.
As always every person’s workflow will be their own. I’m honestly not sure what you are arguing.
