Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Is there a good alternative to Adobe PDF. I mostly use it the view, print and edit PDF's. Plus forms. I've tried a few, but editing so far has sucked.

only half of these are free software. the rest is freeware.

It is trash. Anyone who doesn't understand why does not do graphic design professionally.

It's being developed, the developers thus obviously use it. every Free software product has its use-case, even if it's not suited for professionals.

calling any Free software product trash is also ignoring the very point of the Free software movement. the developers donated their labor to benefit the end users and not to profit a company. I believe that this deserves a little more respect

It's trash that has had a lot of hard work put into it by dedicated developers. Unfortunately, it's still bad.

Gimp is good. I don't know what the gimp haters are always so mad about. The buttons are in different places than in photoshop, big whoop. I have been able to do everything I've ever attempted in gimp and I do modding and game development. I just don't get it.

I will say this till the day I die: Krita is better than GIMP in basically every way and can even integrate with graphicmagick for its filters via a plugin (which comes built-in for the flatpak version). The UX is so close to photoshop to the point where it makes no sense to use GIMP and endure the suffering of its UI.
