Cost ... as in NONE. It's a free program, written by volunteers, that will almost do what Photoshop will do. I think the Linux/Unix version will do more than the Windows version. After all, it's a Linux/Unix program written by Linux/Unix users for other Linux/Unix users. The Windows versions are an after-thought. There are things Photoshop can do that Gimp can't do. OTOH, you can't just download the latest version of Photoshop and use it forever without paying Adobe. ... well, you can, but finding cracked versions and keygens and all that other fuss is more bother than I'm willing to go through. I'd rather pay for the product and know I've got Adobe behind me instead of against me. I used GIMP before I had the where-with-all to buy Photoshop. Photoshop upgrades are almost painless (to the pocketbook) by comparison. If I couldn't afford Photoshop, I'd use GIMP. > And yes, I did go to the website. It's promises much, as do those I > vote for. GIMP's a whole lot easier to get rid of if it doesn't perform as promised. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
