    I was using Mac OS 9 at the time! But PS 7’s workflow was already pretty similar to what it is today, and far more intuitive than GIMP which I tried for the first time in 2006-ish.

      Interesting. I remember trying a copy of newer Photoshop a few years and being genuinely confused by how layers worked as they’ve always been part of my flow.

      The old versions of photoshop and paint shop pro were heavily layer based and selections were automatically a mask of the current layer as in GIMP so GIMP was easy for me to transfer too at the time.

      I also find that intuitive is a relative term. Relative based on your own experience.

          I talked about using older versions of Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Not sure where you grokked any admission that I’ve only used GIMP.

          I mean, even if that was what they said, that would make it and things that function like it more intuitive to them, wouldn’t it? And someone who’s used to a different workflow would find it unintuitive.

          So yeah… Intuitive is relative

              I can screenshot too

              Note where you said “only ever tried Gimp”, when they said they have, in fact, used Photoshop. Additionally, nowhere in that did they say they’ve not used anything else since then even, just not Photoshop.

              But you think you’ve made some credible point here, and likely won’t back down no matter how wrong you are, so go ahead and respond telling me some twisted logic about why you’re right and I’m wrong and I can ignore it so you can walk away thinking you’ve won some useless internet points.

              You said they admitted to NEVER using anything but GIMP. Your gotcha screenshot screenshot you’re spamming literally proves otherwise. It was the user at the top of this comment chain that never used anything but GIMP, not the one you’ve been replying to.
