I’ve tried using Gimp but it has a STEEP learning curve. It’s like the EVE Online of image software. Powerful but very intimidating. I mostly use it to convert WEBP images to JPG for my blog.

I’ve dabbled in it. I would just like to be able to cut out an image and paste it over a background, but can’t figure it out.

The thing is, ALL the software now is going to force you to comply to their terms of service. Shopify decided gun stores did not comply with their terms of service and just cancelled their contracts, never mind that it put a lot of them out of business because you don’t just switch to a new accounting package.

Sounds like Adobe wants to be able to do that too.

At lease with open source like GIMP you still own your data and nobody can cancel your account.

I’ve used Nuance PowerPDF for years and love it! I’m an auditor and find editing, annotating, managing pages and export options are top shelf.

I can sort of function in GIMP.

Some Youtube and some trial and error.
