        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.

    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.

    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

    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.

      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.

    Meanwhile several others tried to buy Photoshop on their proprietary systems but couldn’t afford it. They opened Paint.

        Not even closely. At least getting it not removed about not being “genuine” after a few minutes.

        Other Adobe products? Yeah they are easy.

          it was a breeze for me, just followed the guide and bam, works perfectly. Even my add-ons weren’t fussy about it
