: Line quality issues in GIMP I'm currently testing out GIMP and Krita; so far I find GIMP more feature-rich but I also have some quality concerns when it comes to the lines that GIMP draws.

I'm currently testing out GIMP and Krita; so far I find GIMP more feature-rich but I also have some quality concerns when it comes to the lines that GIMP draws. And I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

For example these are circles drawn in GIMP, the inner one with a paintbrush stroke and the outer one with regular line stroke:

(notice the strange edge algorithm even though the circle is perfectly symmetrical)

And these are the same circles drawn in Krita:

(They look much more professional and Photoshop-like)

I'd like to keep using GIMP over Krita but if there is no way to improve the line quality then I'll have to switch. Any tips?

After a bit of playing around I managed to get the quality of the circle in GIMP up to par with Krita.

This does however add a few extra steps to the process. (I'd like to hear if someone knows a quicker way)

Make a regular ellipse selection (hold shift for perfect circle)
Click on selection to path in the path tab while holding shift for more options (this option creates a path out of the selected perimeter)

You will be presented with a path menu, change filter iteration count to maximum for best results.

Now that the path is created, select the paint along the path option and select the type of line you want.

This is the result, a nice smooth circle:
