This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

But seriously, how do you do it?
Circular selection, fill?
Or, for an annulus: circular selection, border, enter border width, fill.
Or, for any selection in general: edit, stroke selection.
Circular selection, fill?
Isn't that how you do that in Photoshop?
For a certified maniac there's also one bump of a brush with 100% hardness and using gradient tool, radial, with no actual gradations.
And if you are feeling like killing a school bus of puppies, you can put a coin or a mug to the screen with one hand while drawing around it with the other, using a live mouse, biting you, as you move it and hallucinate the formation of the ideal circular form.
No, most of the times for shapes in Photoshop you'd use the shape tool, which can generate them in raster, or better, as paths, allowing you to modify them later non-destructively.

The same way you do it in Photoshop, really

I like how stock photoshop refuses to run with wine not because Adobe cares about linux but because of the insane amount of DRM that harasses you on Windows.
Meaning pirated photoshop runs fine on wine lol
I think there's even a github script to do it all for you with gpu acceleration enabled so you don't have to even bother finding a pirate copy.

Okay but starting a lesson on Photoshop with the circle tool is like starting a lesson on Word with inserting a table. If working with abstract shapes is your modus operandi something like Illustrator or Inkscape makes a lot more sense as a tool.
Also beating up your students on the parking lot sound very fun to end the day but have no value in education
Nanny state
The beatings will continue until Photoshop is mastered.
Dude.... idk if I know if I've ever seen a more accurate simile than that. Equally "buggy*", frustrating, and absurd if you have little to no experience with it
*idr word tables well but I suspect it was like pen tool where it wasn't so much buggy as it's hard to make it work right if you don't get it yet
i like the one about anon compiling a very minimal kernel on arch and whoops cant present to class because hdmi out doesnt work lol
Some of my more memorable experiences in gentoo over the years have been from trying to trim everything I can out from my kernel. It tends to work, until it doesn't.
Anon went on to develop Krita.
Krita >>> gimp Fight me
Lol in hungary we used gimp because the school couldnt afford photoshop(it was one of the best schools in the country).
If it gets the job done, then it's fine, right
Yeah it works for me but for professional work it probably wouldnt.
Idk, I use it quite often, also for my job
Pretty sure Krita is the go to for professional work on linux now.

Mom said its MY turn to repost this meme!
Don't mess with the BSD gang, let this be a lesson to anon.
Stealing from 4chan, we really are reddit's child.
This is literally the greentext community; where else is the content supposed to come from?
Just joking, because people used to complain about this for whatever reason on reddit, and 4chan.
Meanwhile several others tried to buy Photoshop on their proprietary systems but couldn't afford it. They opened Paint.
pirating it is pretty fast & easy
Not even closely. At least getting it not bitch about not being "genuine" after a few minutes.
Other Adobe products? Yeah they are easy.

I actually remember trying to draw a circle with gimp one time. It was actually completely fucked. I was looking for stroke selection or something like that. I never drew the goddamn Circle. Fuck you that shit sucks
From memory ..
Select tool and draw circle.
Select option menu then click 'to path'
Unselect all
Somewhere nearby there is a fill stroke to path or something.
Yeah...I'm considering going over to paint.net or something else.

Anon appreciates the chaturbate ads embedded in his start menu
Is this the most reposted greentext?
Skill issue.
Use Krita?
Anon could’ve just opened a browser and went to photopea.com
Is nobody going to ask how Anon getting beat up in the parking lot is relevant to the story? There’s no indication that Anon’s classmates followed them out to the parking lot. The incident feels more random.
Am I overthinking this instead of drifting off to sleep? Most likely.
Of course it happened exactly like that. Nobody would ever just make shit up on 4chan, right?
The joke is that Anon is a very irresistibly punchable sort of person and so of course they would be a victim of violence. A common theme in greentexts is projected anxiety about peer rejection for not conforming.

Where’s this school that does Photoshop class and the school doesn’t provide the software and equipment?
Hey something's fishy here! I'm starting to think this guy wasn't beat up in the parking lot either
