I really want to like GIMP to replace Photoshop which I used extensively on Win but I’m an experimenter and if I can’t do random things without it crashing all the time it’s not going to work for me. I’ve spent a bit of time with it and every time I try to do something I get some strange error message about the undo cache or it will just crash. Maybe I just need to give it a bit more time, the UI and the tools seem fine just the stability. Any ideas?
Did you try increasing the cache size?
Lol, you know, thank you for reminding me that I never really took a good look at the defaults, I will give it a shot thank you :)
