I'm learning photoshop and gimp graphics programs for now. But in English there are hardly any tutorials on how to make a thumbnail in gimpa, and this program is not popular abroad. And I wanted to do in gimpa the same as in photoshop because the program is free, it works much better and faster.

 

See what pops up, how to write how to make a thumbnail in the Gimp, there aren't many videos on this subject, I learned half of the functions myself in Gimp because there are no guides.

See what pops up if you type how to make a thumbnail in photoshop. There are many more guides, and the miniatures themselves look better, but there are even more guides in English.

In general, is Gimp a good program? Do the garphs work in it? Or is it better to learn Photoshop zmaiast Gimp?

 

I've seen people do really cool things at Gimp but I haven't found any Gimp lessons online, maybe you know how to find it?

Gimp is great, does a lot for being free.

Realistically, you can follow a tutorial for PS and mimic the actions using the respective tools in gimp

You can find CS2 online with a key that adobe accidentally left on their website.

Otherwise...you probably just have to deal with photoshop in general, or there are free online photoshop alts with some limitations naturally.

Let's start off this post by saying that yes.. You may assume I am biased towards Gimp based on my profile picture, but I'll be as objective as possible, as a long time user of the program.

It's a decent program. It works well, but its user interface/experience is very clunky.

Anything you can do in Photoshop, you can do in Gimp (well, most things. It can't do 3D stuff for example), just sometimes in a different ways.

 

The way I look at it, is that often you really have to think hard about how to apply certain ideas in Gimp, because the tools that Photoshop has may not be available in Gimp directly.

With Photoshop being as ubiquitous as it is, there will just be a million times more tutorials out there.

 

I am not sure if I would recommend anyone properly learn Gimp, as you will spend a lot of time learning a program, rather than straight just learning how to make a final product.

Once you do get the hang of it, you can most of what you want to know.

The way I would describe the learning curve of Gimp it's like this:

The clunkiness never goes away, you just learn to work with it

 Well you did only look at one example of a content creator who makes Gimp & Photoshop tutorials, but in general you'll find the Gimp tutorials will be much more 'formal' and 'boring', as the target audience for the program (and thus the videos) is much smaller.

 

Plus, there are a million directions you can take with a thumbnail, but most of them boil down to:

- Grab some main elements (screenshots, photos, etc.) and cut out what is not needed

- Add a background

- Add some text

- Add some effects to both

- Make sure you're adhering to a certain standard of quality/style you've made

 

Plus, if you want a free program that is not Gimp, there are other options out there too.

Krita would be my main recommendation.

Can you double check if these sentences are spelled right? I don't really know what you're asking here.

As a lifelong Photoshop user, I've used Gimp a few times and it can get the job done.

It's more of a workflow thing vs. a feature thing. My workflow is destroyed when I use gimp because I can fly around photoshop blindfolded.

But image manipulation as a whole is something you should get the hang of before mastering a particular piece of software.

Możesz znaleźć CS2 online za pomocą klucza, który Adobe przypadkowo zostawił na swojej stronie internetowej.

W przeciwnym razie ... prawdopodobnie po prostu będziesz mieć do czynienia z programem Photoshop w ogóle, lub istnieją bezpłatne internetowe alty do Photoshopa z pewnymi naturalnie ograniczeniami.

No, Photoshop cs2 is a very old talk about the newest gimp and the newest Photoshop.

CS2 has pretty much every major tool you could need

Zacznijmy od tego posta, mówiąc, że tak. Możesz założyć, że jestem uprzedzony do Gimp na podstawie mojego zdjęcia profilowego, ale będę tak obiektywny, jak to tylko możliwe, jako wieloletni użytkownik programu.

To przyzwoity program. Działa dobrze, ale jego interfejs użytkownika / wrażenia są bardzo niezgrabne.

Wszystko, co możesz zrobić w Photoshopie, możesz zrobić w Gimp (no cóż, większość rzeczy. Na przykład nie może robić rzeczy 3D), tylko czasami na różne sposoby.

 

Sposób, w jaki na to patrzę, jest taki, że często trzeba naprawdę mocno się zastanowić, jak zastosować pewne pomysły w Gimp, ponieważ narzędzia Photoshopa mogą nie być dostępne bezpośrednio w Gimp.

Ponieważ Photoshop jest tak samo wszechobecny, będzie milion razy więcej samouczków.

 

Nie jestem pewien, czy poleciłbym komukolwiek właściwą naukę Gimpa, ponieważ spędzisz dużo czasu na nauce programu, a nie tylko na nauce tworzenia końcowego produktu.

Kiedy już to zrozumiesz, będziesz mógł większość tego, co chcesz wiedzieć.

Sposób, w jaki opisałbym krzywą uczenia się Gimp, wygląda tak:

unknown.png

Niezgrabność nigdy nie znika, po prostu uczysz się z nią pracować

 Cóż, spojrzałeś tylko na jeden przykład twórcy treści, który tworzy samouczki Gimp i Photoshop, ale ogólnie przekonasz się, że samouczki Gimp będą znacznie bardziej „formalne” i „nudne”, jako docelowi odbiorcy programu (i w związku z tym filmy) jest znacznie mniejsza.

 

Ponadto istnieje milion wskazówek, które można obrać za pomocą miniatury, ale większość z nich sprowadza się do:

- Chwyć kilka głównych elementów (zrzuty ekranu, zdjęcia itp.) I wytnij to, co nie jest potrzebne

- Dodaj tło

- Dodaj tekst

- Dodaj efekty do obu

- Upewnij się, że przestrzegasz określonego standardu jakości / stylu, który stworzyłeś

 

Dodatkowo, jeśli chcesz mieć darmowy program, który nie jest Gimp, są tam też inne opcje.

Krita byłaby moją główną rekomendacją.

Czy możesz dwukrotnie sprawdzić, czy te zdania są poprawnie napisane? Naprawdę nie wiem, o co tutaj pytasz.

Yes, it is true to do the same as you did in Photoshop, do the same in gimp, you have to do it in a different way, for example in Photoshop, you can click on the layer of the inscription and then make it glowing or whatever you want and gimp does not exist at all options only need to do layers and use filters.

 

Why are you using gimp and not Photoshop?

 

I don't know that Photoshop is paid, but I don't know if I should go to Photoshop and learn it right away.

 

It's a pity that there are no gimp tutorials on how to make cool miniatures.

 

So I think it would be better to go to Photoshop. What do you think?

The only thing CS2 is missing support for are like newer file formats, or some newer filters, but most everything will be readily available with it, and it'll have the same workflow as newer photoshop should you decide to buy a newer version.

You could check out Krita, it may be more familiar if your coming from Photoshop. I do recommend the G'MIC-Qt plug-in for Krita
