The advantage of PhotoShop is that is works a little bit more efficiently. From my experience, it can handle much larger files than GIMP. A couple of years ago I did a comparison. PS CS2 handles 24-bit 4x5 scan with ease. Whereas GIMP was slow to a crawl on the same machine. I also use PSE. The only feature that I use is auto-stitching. I personally can see myself using GIMP + PSE for awhile -Pasvorn On Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 10:44 AM, Peter Dzwig <pdzwig@summaventures.com> wrote: > Jayanand, > > I disagree.
