That is not proof. Search for just plain "gimp" on any major search engine, and the majority of the links refer to this project. In fact, changing the name of the project would hurt adoption more, by giving up search engine presence, and having a fairly easy to remember four letter name as a search term to begin with. > Sven, coincidentally while I began to read your response I received a > call from an engineering user here wanting to edit a scanned document > with Paint or Photoshop.

Most corporate business environments would be in violation of their terms of governence by rejecting potential cost-savings solely on nebulous claims such as this. You probably should be reprimanded for this behavior. -Yosh _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
