![]() I found GIMP a bit hard to get into on account of not being able to load up the GIMP-help programs. Here are my first impressions of GIMP as a newbie. I am completely new to full-functioned graphics packages. I done this and from now one i never boot in winblows. If you can't run some prog's in ubuntu, use a virtualisation mashine. There is a solution for that: vmware with dual core cpu. (photoshop, corel, illustrator, dreamweaver, flash.) If we like to grow up ubuntu more, we must advice users how to run the commercial prog's they like in ubuntu I DON'T LIKE TO USE GIMP, I LIKE TO RUN AND USE PHOTOSHOP IN UBUNTU. In ubuntu he get's answers like "use gimp, is better", "use open source", "gimp is technicaly better", etc. I readed in the forums many threats about to drop photoshop and use gimp. To boot to winblows, we can help him and advice him how to do this. If a ubuntu user need's to run photoshop and don't like to use gimp, instead to taunt him and to feel forced This is a big discussion, but i believe a OS must run anything the user likes and not to force the user to run what You can use what you want, but there is some people who need's some prog's and can't live without them.Īnd they must to be helped to get this prog's to run in ubuntu. The list of things I can do easily in Gimp that are a struggle to accomplish in Photoshop is as long as that right arm that I thankfully don't need to hack off! I think I pretty well qualified to determine what tools are the best for my needs and Photoshop just isn't it. I used Photoshop extensively for many years as well as many other tools for more specialist graphics tasks. I've been doing digital illustration (and getting paid for it!) for almost 20 years. I seems to presume a lack of knowledge on my part. Well, use what you like, but I'd hack my own right arm off before I would willingly go back to Photoshop. Other functionality i miss is live mode for gradients which i can control and manipulate without waiting so much time for it to appear so bad timing for gradients. I'm sorry you cannot see unclear lines Gimp creates for any graphical object, it's likely you don't even care what anti aliasing filters are.Īs for functionality mainly i miss right click on layer to get into layer filters, when the stuff Python-Fu offers limited and low quality filters. But there are others like myself that for a variety of reasons consider Photoshop to be the inferior alternative. For some, yes, Photoshop will be the best choice. The bottom line is that everyone has a preferred style in which they work and varied technical needs. ![]() I also know a number of professional digital artists who have expressed a preference for working in GIMP for reasons ranging from from the functional to the creative. Most of the other complaints that I commonly hear about the GIMP are being addressed over the course of the next two major versions. ![]() As far as CMYK support, there is a plugin available that add in that functionality. I won't say it is perfect, but GIMP is far more extensible than Photoshop and allows me to manage workflow much better than Photoshop. I dropped Photoshop in favour of GIMP because I found it technically superior to Photoshop in far more ways than it lacked. any person who deals with graphics will find Gimp as inferior due to lack of functionality and solid graphical engine.
