[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I'm a Linux user and have used GIMP for the past 3 years for all of my image manipulations. At the current build level, it's equivalent to at least PS CS2 in intelligence. It was stuck at PS6 for years, minus a few tools. There are a lot of plugins that can be used with GIMP to do whatever you please. And if you have a hankering for development, you can always make your own since the source code is open. Since I got the M8, my photos have gone through RAW conversion using the UFRAW plugin for GIMP and then I adjust the usual levels, etc, then I'm done. Photoshop was initially the ONLY reason that I had a Windows partition on my computer. Now Windows is all but forgotten but I still keep it there for a few things. Have fun.
