That reminds me, someone came up with a wrapper for Gimp that basically
reworks the GUI to be much more photoshop-like on the Mac. DAmn, now I
gotta dig it up and see if it's worth the effort of installing Gimp.
Why do you care? Have you been trained on Photoshop?
To me, the Gimp and Photoshop GUI's are equally impenetrable.
The new APress book about "Beginning Gimp" is quite good for someone who
doesn't know Photoshop.
My only beef about Gimp was the crappy Scheme interpreter they use for
extension. They are fixing that, however.
After chugging through the "Beginning Gimp" book and the Script-fu
tutoials, I wrote an extension to do antialiased font rendering, map it
to 16 colors, chop it apart into individual characters, and convert it
to a pixmap.
Tedious, but, surprisingly, my biggest issue was wrapping my head around
the Photoshop/Gimp "layers" concepts rather than the specific stuff.
