Not hard to get the hang of basic editing in GIMP.
A general rule I always follow is when you start editing … create a folder, place all your starting images in there and duplicate the folder … keep one folder as the original (and keep it hidden in the background) and start editing in the copy.
This way, if you ever mess up or can no longer undo whatever you did … just grab a copy of the original layer and restart
Sometimes if I’m doing a complicated edit, I’ll keep multiple duplicates of each layer version of the edit I’m doing… just to be safe.
It took me a ton of lost hours of editing before I got to the point of creating duplicate backup layers … it creates massive files but if I’m just doing memes, I just delete the editing file once I’m done anyway.
Would you say learning GIMP is worth it? I’ve largely been using the built in tools in a meme generator, often on my phone, so my process feels pretty sloppy. Lol

Happy editing … I look forward to it!!

Another alternative is the slightly simpler Pinta. I’ve started using that instead of the more complex Gimp.
