  • Replace Photoshop with Gimp? what's your thoughts?

    Hi all

    What's your thoughts on raplacing Photoshop with Gimp? I haven't worked with Gimp but the screen shots looks pretty much almost just like photoshop. Since Gimp is free and Photoshop is kinda expensive since it comes with all those other packages I don't need.

    Blender vs. Max comes to mind but I think that is a totally different story. Blender has 50 million more tools than Max and that includes fluids, no normal person can operate the darn thing (Blender). So was just thinking if this is the same situation with Gimp or not?

      I tried it a while ago and wasn't too crazy with it. I prefer photoshop a lot more.

        I've just started using gimp also. I was told there was some type of plugin or something to make it similar to photoshop, but I haven't researched that too much. Overall, I like it. It is taking me some time to relearn shortcuts and finding the right tool/filter/adjustment for the job but for being free, I like it! I am hoping to find a little spare time to play with it some more when I am not under a ton of pressure to get stuff out the door.

            gimp cannot compare to photoshop. Use it only as your last resourt.
