The two art forms are soooooooooooo distinctly different. However if you are in to photography and want to produce high resolution digital images then with great regret n I see no alternative but getting your head around using raw & PS. However if you only want to project images using an overhead projector at 1024x768 then gimp will do everything you need.. there is no way that either a screen or a projector can show the different between an 8 bit and a 16 boit image.. the media limits the message!! <chuckles> _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
