Don't need to apply it. It has got stackable filters now. Individually editable and hideable. Works fine with text. So just confirms my theory that all the haters haven't touched it recently. Just like with Linux (they generally don't distinguish between distributions ofc), when people claim you need the console for everything while you mostly don't need it at all.
Instead of it does it in .
Gimp will always be awful because it has never been developed with UX as the priority.
They recently started to try improving on that front, so maybe one day?
I use it every few days and tried to do what I just described before posting about it, and was unable to do so. I don't consider that "not having touched it recently."
And even if it does do that now on some newer version my distro doesn't have, my thoughts are still the same as others in this thread like the bad UX and many other features photoshop has that gimp doesn't.
