a good vector graphics app - Inkscape could be it, but it would need heavy work on stabilizing it, and UI improvements around anything involving mask (though to honest the bar is low here, Illustrator has horrible UI around masking to) a good raster photo editor with non-destructive editing capabilitiesĢ. Its popular though since Cored Draw is no longer a thing, and Adobe Illustrator has horrible UX for anyone not using it full-time/professionally.ġ. Inkscape is horribly unstable once you try to draw anything slightly complex that involves heavy usage of masks and your number of paths/shapes get close/over 100. Last time I tried to use Gimp for anything mildly complex (heavy usage of cage distort on a high res pic with quite a few layers) it crashed every 10min (though I was told it was the fault of the Ubuntu packaged, it's not acceptable to make a clusterfuck of the versions targetting the most widely used Linux distro!).
Paint.NET beats Gimp in usability, Photoshop in both features and stability.
Just my 2 satang.Gimp and Inkscape are both extremely sub-par apps. If you are starting up on your own and need to hold back money spending, use Inkscape. If you are a graphic artist delivering artwork to customers, you may need Adobe. If you are an estate broker delivering advertisements to newspapers, use Adobe. Or maybe, they did not them selves have the stamina to read another manual and learn Inkscape. If someone tries to convince you, that you can only use Adobe or Corel, they are probably selling it. Personally, I mostly use Inkscape, Photoshop more then GIMP and Corel Draw virtually never. Inkscape has powerful tools, multicolor tracing, filters and extensions, and you should be able to make "any" design with it. This is however a limitation, that can be overcome. Inkscape lacks like GIMP a little (now compared to Adobe Illustartor) concerning color management. Separations and halftoning works more smooth in Photoshop. GIMP has some very powerful free plugins. GIMP has some limitations compared to Photoshop, in particular working in CMYK and adjustment layers are missing functionalities. Inkscape is, as a vector design program, better suited for design then GIMP.
