No doubt The Gimp is a great program. I used to use it all the time when I first started to do Photography. But the problem came when I first started to use Photoshop. Now when I go to use The Gimp, I feel as though I am taking a few steps backwards. One of the biggest problems do lie with the plugins. The Gimp has a lot of plugins, but I do not feel as though they are being maintained, or even developed at the pace of the rest of the world. I would love to see The Gimp move forward, with such vast improvements that it would want to make me feel as though Photoshop was just an expensive toy.
