I think Photoshop CS5 is still a better product than Gimp will ever be. I think this person needs to upgrade to Affinity. While it’s still available to buy, that is.
But since I can easily install Gimp on my linux system it is clearly superior to any proprietary windows exclusive software. I'm so glad I never even bothered with Photoshop in the first place.
I'm happy with affinity. Pity it doesn't run on limux
Apparently there's a tutorial to make a thing in docker that actually does run it. It's a whole-ass process though and my friend who uses Linux for most stuff was working on it a while back. Damn shame it's not a thing, out of the box.
Do you know what this is called or have any links? I'm not finding anything that seems like what you're describing.
Apparently it's this. https://github.com/ryzendew/AffinityOnLinux
I hear it works well as long as you have all the dependencies and stuff needed ahead of time. If an error pops, it's apparently pretty clear about what's needed.
I have been deep down this road, and finally got it working, but there are so many graphical glitches it just became unusable.
My current setup is a windows VM I have running in a docker container that I remote desktop into.
Saying that now, I might be better off just using VirtualBox or the like because the input lag is a pain. Not a massive issue but it's not the same as using it natively unfortunately.
