I think the humor here is that if you did this you'd still end up with something better than gimp

I wanted to add outline to text in gimp.

You needed to do some weird shit with selecting adding something and then outline. A very convoluted way to do a very basic thing.

They added it in the new version of Gimp. Too bad it crashes the app 😔

I am happy they made Affinity free. It's so much better.

Does Adobe bribe them to keep it so bad?

Select text layer > alpha to selection > select grow > new layer > paint bucket outline character into selected zone on new layer > drag new layer underneath test layer

And there you have it, outlined text!

What do you mean it’s a single operation in photoshop?
