Thanks for your work on this! Unrelated but if you haven't tried the open-source photoshop alternative Krita you are missing out. It's basically GIMP but unburdened by 30 years of legacy code. https://github.com/KDE/krita
Thank you so much (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ
I am totally not biased in the slightest, but you should definitely try it out if you haven't already (and want to paint)
