Windows Paint, as it was back in 9x? Totally my jam. Between that and Irfanview for access to resizing and filter features Paint didn't have, I could get a surprising amount done.
But then they updated Paint to have more advanced abilities and I had no idea how to do things any more.
I've tried Krita recently, but I felt lost. I think I need to attend a course or watch some videos on layers and the brushes and everything like that. It isn't intuitive at all. None of the advanced graphics programs are.
Old Paint? You didn't need a how-to or a course. It was one layer. No overwhelming number of tools and options. You wanted another layer? You opened another Paint window.
You wanted anti-aliasing? You drew things two or four times the size then used something like Irfanview to shrink it down when you were done.
Damn kids get off my etc.
Totally agree, sometimes I just need to crop an image and it's not intuitive at all on the big programs. I've found paint 3D is fairly solid and non complex for most simple things one needs to do with images.
Cropping in Krita or GIMP is super simple. Open Image, rectangle select what you want to keep, then Edit > Trim To Selection, then File > Export.
In paint 3d it's open image > click crop button > crop > save. My mom could do it with no problem since the Ui isn't cluttered with stuff and the crop button is right there.
Yeah, but you can't compare these two. That's like trying to cut a 2×4 with a CNC and complaining that it is unintuitive. Yeah a hacksaw can also cut it and is more intuitive but a CNC can do about a million things the hacksaw can't, so obviously its harder to use. The hacksaw is perfectly fine for a lot of people, but that doesn't mean the CNC is bad.
Why are you cutting a 2x4 with a hacksaw?
Apologies, English is not my native language, I meant a Bow saw
