[Tig] Gimp vs. Photoshop, on Leopard.

[Rob Lingelbach]

I decided, after not feeling right about loading a k'ed version of  
Photoshop on a new MacBook Pro, to refamiliarize myself with Gimp, and  
grab the latest version.  Also allowed me to get going with DarwinPorts.

I hadn't used Gimp for a long time because back when I did, it didn't  
have RAW support for my Nikon.  Now it seems open-source UFRaw  
provides some measure of capability.

anyway i was just wondering if anyone had comments.  There has always  
been a vocal group of Photoshoppers who don't like Gimp because the  
GUI is so different.  I believe that except for prepress work, (Gimp  
doesn't offer CMYK as far as I know) Gimp is powerful.
About 5 years ago the major reason we went with PS in an animation lab  
was due to the lack of plugins for Gimp.
