The way you're evaluating these programs is the equivalent of comparing cars by kicking their tires, slamming the door, and honking the horn. By the time you used it half a dozen times, you should have picked it up on it. The way you move pixels in GIMP, though it doesn't conform to certain well-established user interface conventions, is learnable (and even discoverable). ![]() So that is to say, you can make a selection in one layer (say by picking out a shape), and then switch to another layer where that original selection is still in effect and delimits the edit operations. The selection "cross-cuts" through layers. In Gimp, the move tool selects the entire layer which contains the pixels that you're pointing to, and moves that. So yes, that will perplex the average user. ![]() Thus, you can't just select a rectangle (or whatever) and then drag it to move the pixels. ![]() Rather, it's a delimited region of the image which confines the effects of editing. A selection isn't an object that the user can pick up for direct manipulation. In GIMP, selection works in a way that runs counter to the predominant user interface paradigm.
