Unfortunately, there's nothing comparable to Photoshop for Linux that's in my price range right now... the Gimp just doesn't cut it for my photography.
Lack of support for an Intel graphics chip isn't surprising, they're pretty lousy. I'm not patient enough to deal with Linux anymore... which is why I gave up on it. That's also why I gave up on building my own computers; it's no longer less expensive than buying a pre-built machine, and my time is too valuable and limited to spend on tweaking. Maybe someday when I don't have to deal with a desk job anymore... ----------------------------- Rakesh Malik My Web Site: http://www.whitecranephotography.com Blog: http://tamerlin.blogspot.com http://www.flickr.com/baratheon Sent from Seattle, Washington, United States 2009/12/26 Jouni Hätinen <[email protected]> > First Americans!
