Is this (implied) opinion based on actual experience with both products? I
ask because I've not used Gimp, but one of the most important uses of my
Win95 machine is Photoshop (including use of a TWAIN scanner).
Have you actually found Gimp as functional as Photoshop with respect to
scanning, equalizing, applying a range of special filters, doing
threshholds, doing CMYK separations, doing duo- and tri-tones, and
controlling printer attributes such as line frequency, angle, and dot shape?
Advice I've gotten locally suggests Gimp is far inferior to Photoshop (this
from a local Webmaster who uses Linux for ***everything*** except Photoshop
work, and who has the same scanner as I do). Before I go through the work of
getting Gimp installed and running (and abandoning considerable expereince
with Photoshop), I'd like to know that someone who has used both products
really does find Gimp satisfactory for high-quality photo scanning and
manipulation.
