It is not possible to make a reflective printout the "same" as a light-emitting screen, anybody claiming this is lying.
#Cinepaint ubuntu professional#
Having worked with professional graphics quite a bit I have to say that "color management" is 95% bullshit. Use for the printing "black" is a minor insignificant detail compared to these other things. In professional special effects graphics these are used mostly for mattes and effects channels and information such as the normals of the surfaces. More than 3 channels (CMYK is one minor use of that) would be nice. For instance you cannot non-destructively colorize a lineart layer and put it on top of a background, something that Photoshop makes easy. Though dweebs here like to throw out buzzwords like CMYK and > 8 bits, the most obvious missing thing is that you cannot "group" the layers so that the compositing operation is done between them and then the result is overlayed. You keep using this word - I do not think it means what you think it means.
#Cinepaint ubuntu software#
Yeah, it's a major failing that doesn't happen to affect most users.)īut it's a great software application, it's simple/intuitive enough that my *mother* can use it (Admittedly, she wasn't ruined by using photoshop first), it does 90% of what it's strongest competitor does, 99% of what any standard user will do, it's a small (~35 mb vs 1 Gig(?!?!) required for CS!) install, it runs well (Let's not get into the *other* CS requirements), and it's, ah. That said, sure I don't do desktop publishing, but I'm am not egocentric enough to go "Sure it's a major field but I don't use it so who cares!". It has one major failing that they're working on in the palette issue (I happily concede having never been in a situation where that made the slightest difference. It *is* 90% of photoshop, at 0% of the price, which is far more than any of the other (half-dozen) suites *I* have seen in various jobs. I would love for Gimp to be as good as or better than photoshop, and it's not. I confess - I've tried several photo suites. And now it's going to suck for users who want a bit more than average / mediocre. Yes, it's a flame, but ubuntu sucks for development. If they want it to be so dumbed down, why don't they just pull a lindows/linspire? People got over it with firefox, they're getting over it with oo, and given time, those who are sufficiently motivated to explore will get over it with the gimp.īetween the fugly colour schemes, the stupid naming schemes, the artificial restrictions on root (hey - it's MY computer, not yours), not including the toolchain for building the system by default - even on xubuntu, etc., I'm glad I stuck with opensuse.
Same as for people used to MS-Office, OpenOffice is "too different", or who are used to "teh InnerNet = IE", firefox was too cumbersome. By removing the GIMP, they're just encouraging people to think that linux is "not ready for serious users."įor people who are used to working with photoshop, the GIMP is different - hence cumbersome.
#Cinepaint ubuntu install#
One of the ways of introducing people to alternative software is to install it and have in sitting there on the menu.
