This years computer graphic art competition in Germany (Spiegel) was won by an outsider artist by unanimous decision of the jury - who was gobsmacked when they learned that the much acclaimed work of art was created with the Gimp, of which nobody in the Jury ever heard before. Certainly stirred the CG community in Europe up a bit While the user interface is more refined in programs like Photoshop, the almost infinite power of the Gimp's scripting interface unleashes possibilities unheared of in commercial programs for those artisist with a bit of computer know how and willingness to learn. I think Scribus is not quite in the same league yet, but it seems developing in huge leaps with a very active and ethusiastic community Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
