This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is nobody going to ask how Anon getting beat up in the parking lot is relevant to the story? There’s no indication that Anon’s classmates followed them out to the parking lot. The incident feels more random.

Am I overthinking this instead of drifting off to sleep? Most likely.

Where’s this school that does Photoshop class and the school doesn’t provide the software and equipment?

Okay but starting a lesson on Photoshop with the circle tool is like starting a lesson on Word with inserting a table. If working with abstract shapes is your modus operandi something like Illustrator or Inkscape makes a lot more sense as a tool.

Also beating up your students on the parking lot sound very fun to end the day but have no value in education

Lol in hungary we used gimp because the school couldnt afford photoshop(it was one of the best schools in the country).

If it gets the job done, then it's fine, right

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Yeah it works for me but for professional work it probably wouldnt.

I like how stock photoshop refuses to run with wine not because Adobe cares about linux but because of the insane amount of DRM that harasses you on Windows.

Meaning pirated photoshop runs fine on wine lol

I think there's even a github script to do it all for you with gpu acceleration enabled so you don't have to even bother finding a pirate copy.

Meanwhile several others tried to buy Photoshop on their proprietary systems but couldn't afford it. They opened Paint.

pirating it is pretty fast & easy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Not even closely. At least getting it not bitch about not being "genuine" after a few minutes.

Other Adobe products? Yeah they are easy.

Anon discovers he should bought a Mac if he likes *nix and being a normie.

Anon doesn't know how to draw a circle in GIMP

Skill issue

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Got to say that I had some trouble with that on gimp, but it's possible!

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (4 children)

But seriously, how do you do it?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

The same way you do it in Photoshop, really

[–] [email protected] 48 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Circular selection, fill?

Or, for an annulus: circular selection, border, enter border width, fill.

Or, for any selection in general: edit, stroke selection.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Fill ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[–] [email protected] 34 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Circular selection, fill?

Isn't that how you do that in Photoshop?

For a certified maniac there's also one bump of a brush with 100% hardness and using gradient tool, radial, with no actual gradations.

And if you are feeling like killing a school bus of puppies, you can put a coin or a mug to the screen with one hand while drawing around it with the other, using a live mouse, biting you, as you move it and hallucinate the formation of the ideal circular form.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (4 children)

No, most of the times for shapes in Photoshop you'd use the shape tool, which can generate them in raster, or better, as paths, allowing you to modify them later non-destructively.

No idea about Photoshop, never got to use it. The last piece of bitmap graphic editing software I used other than Gimp was Micrografx Picture Publisher 4/5, and that has been a while.

I'll admit I do see some quality of life features in Photoshop though, plus I'd like to play around with some of the "AI" feature for infilling etc.

That being said, from what I gather from OP, there seems to be a circular shape tool that saves 2-3 clicks when drawing a circle in PS? Looking at the pros/cons, not a convincing argument, but then again, I don't look at memes for any meaningful argument or a reasonable discussion.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't writing this comment seriosly, but there's also a shape tool, but it's rather weird and sits at the bottom of the toolbar so I don't feel like many professional users really care about it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

No worries, I got that from the second part.

Don't mess with the BSD gang, let this be a lesson to anon.

Stealing from 4chan, we really are reddit's child.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is literally the greentext community; where else is the content supposed to come from?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Just joking, because people used to complain about this for whatever reason on reddit, and 4chan.
