RE: Gimp. I wouldn't foist that crap off on my worst enemy. Whomever conceived that user interface had to be stoned. Bad stoned. --------------------------------------- Someone has written a revised menu structure for GIMP that matches the user interface in Photoshop... It is called "Gimpshop" and is supposed to make it much easier for PhotoShop users to transition to The Gimp (and easier for Gimp users to follow PhotoShop tutorials). http://www.gimpshop.com/ According to the description on the website: GIMPshop is a modification of the free/open source GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), intended to replicate the feel of Adobe Photoshop. Its primary purpose is to make users of Photoshop feel comfortable using GIMP. It shares all GIMP's advantages, including the long feature list and customisability, while addressing some common criticisms regarding the program's interface: GIMPshop modifies the menu structure to closely match Photoshop's, adjusts the program's terminology to match Adobe's, and, in the Windows version, uses a plugin called 'Deweirdifier' to combine the application's numerous windows in a similar manner to the MDI system used by most Windows graphics packages. While GIMPshop does not support Photoshop plugins, all GIMP's own plugins, filters, brushes, etc. remain available. Due to the changes to the interface, many Photoshop tutorials can be followed in GIMPshop unchanged, and most others can be adapted for GIMPshop users with minimal effort. ----------------------------- I have installed Gimpshop, but not had a chance to try it out to see how well it compares to Photoshop CS3 which is currently my most used image processor software.
