Hey, I tried to get used to gimp as advanced image editor for a long time, but is just nothing I can work with, so I wanted to ask if you know some alternatives (for Windows).

    Well, GIMP is great but uneasy, not sure but Paint.NET on Windows is simpler but very user friendly and may be sufficient for your needs

      This is the understatement of the year. GIMP is an amazing piece of software, but I struggle to imagine the person for whom it is intuitive. I mean, draw a straight line in GIMP. The interface is byzantine, at best, and the learning curve a herculean task.

      It’s one of the best OSS flagships, but hoo boy, do I only reluctantly open it to do anything; I’m gonna lose that afternoon.

      yep. paint net is great, and open source. Pinta is a good alternative for linux users, as paint.net is windows-only
