Even GIMP experts still stumble on basic tasks
Original: It's funny because I am highly proficient in GIMP but I still don't know how to do some basic stuff simply because I nev
A game developer and graphic artist says that despite being highly proficient in GIMP, the open-source image editor, they still do not know how to perform some basic tasks simply because they never needed them before. They note that the missing knowledge is only a quick lookup away, and frame the remark as a lighthearted observation about how people learn software unevenly, picking up advanced skills while gaps remain in simpler features.
Why now: Many people who use complex software recognise the experience of mastering advanced features while never learning supposedly basic ones.
