I mainly use GIMP in my postwork and don't need to say I love it, sometime ago I bought Photoshop 7 (too much expensive) I'm not a pro and maybe my apresiation may be wrong but I think one of the few point in wich win Photoshop is in the brush handling and customisation, if I have to place gimp somewhere it would be under Photoshop but very near, and up PainShopPro (my wife choise and nothing else) but by far, and consider I'm comparing a free aplication with comercial products one of them extremaly expenseive ; one think that I can't understand about PSP is it doesn't suport graphic tablets (I have a poor Genius wizardpen, not a Wacom but useful for my works) but GIMP work great with it, easyly you can define preasure for the thiknes opacity and hardnes of all tools. Gimp Interface is not much diferent from photoshop and is very customizable, the icons are big and even much clear and defined than Photoshop, the filters are great and some like the rendered ones (clouds, sin etc) are amazing the script fu tools are great too. Believe me Tormie you can achieve hard filtering and complicated things with it if you'd need so. If somebody is thinking about buying some graphic program I'd ask him/her to download and install GIMP and give a serius try, not just open put some strokes with the brush, but try to do some work with it and I think after that will have a hard time to deside if to buy. Sorry if I sound fanatic :lol: but I like GIMP, and I think it deserves atention and suport. By now I allways have the GIMP instaled and photoshop too, of 10 of my works 9 i do in GIMP, I think I don't uninstal Photoshop just to have some consolation :crying: :prrr: :lol: By the way in case somebody doesn't know this place: http://www.gimptalk.com/ very useful.
