[Tig] Gimp vs. Photoshop, on Leopard.

[S. T. Nottingham III]

Everyone,

I have been using GIMP for a while now, and I find it to be as useful as any
photo editing program. I have never really gotten into Photoshop that much,
and instead used Corel PhotoPaint - which is really powerful. GIMP seems to
measure up favorably to the others. Now for those that really like the menu
structure in Photoshop, there is an add-on for GIMP that makes it act and
look the same. That overlay is called Gimpshop, and can be found at
Plasticbugs on the Web.

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.
