I have used Gimp for years and I actually do not understand this meme. Like, do you not understand how image selection and/or layers work? What tf did you think would happen except for exactly what happens?
maybe its because of the thing where you select something and try moving it and it moves the whole layer? thats the only thing ive ever had a problem with in gimp
Ooohh, okay, I get how that could be unintuitive. Thank you.
It's better to separate it to another layer so I do it without realizing. If you have trouble with outlines forming then use copy instead of cut.
apparently the post was actually about deselecting everything and how its not intuitive for people that come from apps that dont use ctrl+shift+A
I've just encountered this yesterday. Need to change the target of the moving tool in the toolbox or Toolbar or whatever it is called .
oh cool i just discovered this is possible... i dont even use gimp anymore
Well, in GIMP you need to do the "float selection" before you can manipulate what you've selected properly. In Clip Studio Paint, for example, you select, press ctrl, and just drag whatever you clicked on to move. Way more intuitive (until you do it expecting to interact with active layer and instead move something in the overlay or behind).
I do love how GIMP allows you to work with transparency though.
