Not-sure? Gimp has basic layers just not all the fancy adjustment layers that Photoshop offers. I think gegl is supposed to remedy this.... eventually. IIRC, full gegl was supposed to come 10 years ago? Don't get me started on the asshats that are the gimp devs.

Maybe we should increase what we pay them?

I wonder if Affinity will add anything. It's been my PS replacement for a while.

Affinity was recently acquired by Canva. Not sure what will happen there.

Yeah, I am a little worried about that because it could end up being Adobe Jr where it becomes a subscription.

If this really should happen, then people will move away because the most important selling point in favor for Affinity was having no subscription model.

They did release a statement saying they are committed to keeping single purchase as an option.

Affinity users won’t be forced into paying subscriptions following Canva acquisition

Affinity isn’t planning to ditch its one-time payment model.

I use Affinity and Canva both. I would not mind if they add some type of Creative Cloud style sub that includes Canva and the suite of Affinity apps, as long as they keep perpetual license an option. Adobe has moved aggressively into Canva's space with Adobe Express, and until recently Adobe was also trying to acquire Figma, so I guess this is a preemptive strike by Canva.
