The issue of bloat is religious, much like vi versus emacs. One person's bloat, is another person's life-or-death feature. Me, since hardware is cheap, I'd rather have everything. :) On 4/26/07, Daniel Escasa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I remember reading this maybe in some online forum: In

Photoshop is a program meant to run for Windows. You should consider look for apps that will run natively in your platform, if that's possible. Try out GIMP or Image Magick. For vector graphics, check Inkscape, and Xara Xtreme. Xara, isn't a complete opensource project yet. On 4/24/07, Bhee-L@
