Hello!
Sorry for taking so long to thank your replies, but I had to solve an
urgent and unpleasant problem :-|
As for my choice, I am using GIMP! Several arguments in favor of GIMP
were/are compelling.
One final observation. I'm not a professional photographer. I'm an
amateur photographer and

Anyway, Gimp is great, and photoshop has many default too. It also tries

There are a few things that GIMP needs to be competitive with PS.
1) A decent batch processor and I'm not talking about learning a whole
programming language to do so.
2) 16 bit color.
3) Better zonal control so one can adjust light and dark areas of

The difficulty is that whilst GIMP will run on virtually any operating
