Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

That’s was I was meaning by “familiarity”. The unfamiliar tool is subjectivity worse.

For sure. I should try harder to give it a go, but would probably need to rebuild my stuff from scratch as opening even slightly complex excel files in Calc feels very clunky.

I shudder to think how much money Adobe pours into Photoshop; but yes, that investment makes for a powerful product, that a free one is almost as good for many users is amazing.

It is amazing. GIMP is really a posterchild for open source. But I do have trouble with things that are simple in photoshop. I remember trying to cut something out of a picture and have it fill in the background (say, if the rest of the image has trees in the background it should seemlessly continue this into the removed area). It's possible, but I think I had to find some extension listed in a forum post from 10 years earlier. Photoshops technology has andvanced a lot in 10 years, it would be nice to see more adhancement like this in GIMP.

There's also free AI tools you can use online to automatically cut out people or objects from backgrounds. Saves heaps of time

Yeah, but depending on the photo I don't like uploading my files to online services I've never heard of. There's only a very small number I'd trust, and I'd much prefer offline software.
