    i was using gimp, but then i moved to paint dot net. i refuse to learn it well because shitposts aren’t supposed to look good and i’m in the “cut the magazine with scissors and glue it together to make a collage” era of photoshop luddism.

      GIMPs got something like that using a plugin. Haven’t used it myself. But heard it does the trick.

      I’ve taught this technical junk of print and web to graphic designers for close to 20 years. Trust me when I say not a lot of people understand the nuances and it’s getting worse not better.

      Not anyone’s fault really a lot of this his hidden behind the scenes and you have to seek it out and actually care. Which doesn’t come up often, until you need to optimize a websites load speed or print something extremely precise.
