Not much history this week, just Morticia putting her bats to bed.

I scanned today’s image from my copy of Evilution, it is also published in Homebodies.

The page from Homebodies was fairly dark, and I am not great with Affinity photo so I could not do much to fix it. The scan I made today turned out pretty good, so I used that.

    I dislike the UI for gimp. I spend far too much time trying to figure out where stuff is.

    I use affinity designer to crop the PDFs and export them to png. I usually do not do any manipulation, but today needed something. I probably should have stuck it into the iPhone photo app and messed with it there.

      oh fam I love and hate GIMP. it makes no freakin sense at all. I respect that. It’s, how you say, individualistic? If I don’t use it for a month or so I gotta do a bunch of web searches to figure out how to do anything. But yo, I respect open-source! so I use it for all my comic strip fan edits.

        I used it the other day for the first time in six months and it took me about five minutes to remember how to crop an image.

        And it was a webp source image so I couldn’t just use kolourpaint.

          relateable! to be fair, gimp has a lot of information out there like tutorials and how-tos and such…

        I used Macromedia Fireworks, then Photoshop, and now Affinity. I still find myself looking for Photoshop stuff in affinity.

        I really have tried to get used to gimp. But well my time is too valuable to me.
