Hi

Is the question "what is available?" or "how good are the programs?"

I find gimp robust and powerful enough for what I do.

Have a look at Lightzone  http://www.sonic.net/~rat/lightcrafts/
It seems very powerful for photo purposes, and porpoises (you'll have to do their tutorial to get the joke)

Some Windows programs work well under Wine (a way of running windows programs in Linux). Expressions3 works. Artrage2 works but you have to recompile Wine at the moment (thought I think the slightly crippled freeware version is ok without doing so). You also have to pay for Artrage but it's only 15 Euros and it's so totally brilliant you shouldn't resist.

For vectors, apart from Expressions and the other freeware, I'm waiting for Xara Xtreme linux version to come out (XaraLX?). It's currently being developed. I haven't tried the betas.

That's all I know :-) oh there is a linux version of XNView. Not as good as the Windows version unfortunately, unless it was updated recently.

Hi again, my current problem on my job: I have to look for DTP, Imagemanipulation Software, Corel Draw vector software for Linux. I know Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator. Such software programms exists for Linux, but what about the Quality of these programs like Gimp, Inkscape and more??? Does anybody can help me? It's just a problem for me to change for my job the operating system (I hate it ;-), but perhaps I will see the advantage of a software world changing if I understand the strange os of Linux some day ;-) Never did a learning lessons for linux before. I must do that horrible work and book a beginner course for Linux desktop and server systems ...

Glad to see some "tipps" for this case, frank brübach
