Not in general, no. There are diferences related to metadata, and the jpeg encoding algorithm is maybe slightly different, but speaking as someone who sells stock images with a reputation for world-class quality, processed entirely with GIMP (and xsane), i can say you can do absolute top quality work with GIMP if you take the time to learn how.

>also, does photoshop have any advantage over the quality of an >outputted file, over GIMP? Since this is about text, it is known that Gimp 2.10 renders small text on the light side. Something to do with the current cairo library I believe. From memory Gimp 2.8 was better in this respect. Attached a comparison with PS (very old PS). If it is faint try a very small increase in size (1 or 2 pix) , that sometimes makes a noticeable difference or duplicate the text layer and put top text layer into hard light layer mode. More generally, PS can work in CMYK colour space. If your work is for offset printing then the whole project start to finish should be in CMYK. There is a good application+plugin for conversion, 'Cyan' but there is always that colour shift between RGB and CMYK profiles. Other than that, for exporting finished work, a png/jpeg/tif is a png/jpeg/tif Attachments: * https://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/1182/original/text1.png -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
