Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

No, literally none of that could have been accomplished with MS Paint.

[–] snowe@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

yes, yes it could. You went into no detail at all, so it's literally up to the reader's imagination. photo touch up could mean literally filling in freckles, well use the eyedropper tool and draw over them. Color science could mean checking the color profile of your monitor, the colors in paint are HSL. Retro pixel art is literally just drawing, you just don't get the help of pixel by pixel drawing, you'll have to manage that yourself. Your response indicated nothing about how you use GIMP, and honestly, I doubt you have used any really in depth features that Photoshop provides.

I used to do plenty of pixel art in MS Paint on Windows XP when I was young. Zoom in as far as it'll go, and the pencil tool works pixel by pixel. Just need a steady hand. You could even use the eyedropper tool, some modifier key I've forgotten, and the eraser tool to replace one color in the image with another if you were editing existing sprites.

So many silly recolor "OC"s. So. Many.

As I've previously stated, I haven't used Photoshop in a few decades.
