   I might give GIMP another try from 3.0, since I hear layer effects are *finally* non-destructive. Whenever I’ve tried to use it in the past, beyond just generally disliking the UX which maybe I could get used to in time, the destructive effects system made it basically useless to me. Non-destructive layer effects have been the norm for decades elsewhere after all

     @sinbad What does "destructive" mean in this context?

     @lisyarus @SmallisBeautiful thanks, yeah in the past you only had undo which is simply not good enough for any serious layer-based editing tool

     @SmallisBeautiful @sinbad I see, thanks! Yep, that's a big deal.

     @lisyarus @sinbad Destructive means it changes the pixels on the layer so the change cannot be reverted (except with an undo of course).

     Whereas non-destructive means the effect can be turned on/off at the click of a button!
