wow, someone wo isnt just getting an illegal copy of photoshop, thats quite admirable, with everything like Kazaa out there its good to see someone resisting temptation

GIMP rules!!!! :]

[Kintall]

well gimp may be good, but well photoshop is the one  program that rules them all in a sense, its just  yeah, the best most powerfull and so on. its a real shame that the only way to get a copy  short of paying the silly amounts of money is to get an unauthorised illegal copy from kazaa...

Gimp2 is almost the same as photoshop 7. The only problem I had with gimp2 under windows is that I had to adjust the windowsXP dll search order in the registry, but that\'s a minor fix.

*kazaa is illegal!!!!*

i\'ll try gimp i guess.

[Nikech]

I should try GIMP too, I really need a better program than MS Paint.

Well, I use photoshop, not alot, but I do. I tried GIMP, but... yeah well I couldnt get it installed, I have those things where you need to doe that manual :S

Sweetness!

If you intend to stay legal, and want an app that works and has many of ps\'s functions, go GIMP.

...and many other functions, plugins and scripts ...if you\'re a bit python-savvy, you\'ll soon get the hang out of python-fu (one of the gimp scripting/plugin languages) and put it in very good use ...or, you could just look for the script-fu and python-fu plugins on the GIMP homepage or search a bit around for them

official homepage: http://www.gimp.org
GIMP User Group: http://gug.sunsite.dk/

...and some nice examples what you can do with GIMP:

(be sure to check how much time these guys are using GIMP ...just so you know it\'s not hard)

..you see guys ...not having (money for) photoshop is not an excuse not to try to CG

Or....you could be taking a computer graphics course, be cool with the instructor, and get hooked up with a copy of Photoshop CS

Or you could find PS7 at a yard sale for $15 like I did

It\'s great to see that some won\'t do piracy. GIMP is great, the new GIMP2 is very, very good and can do most of the things photoshop can do. But GIMP2 isn\'t a free photoshop, its a different program and as such you have to learn to use gimp just as you would have to learn photoshop. There are some good books out there, most are outdated, but still fairly good. The best I\'ve read is \"Grokking the gimp\" which is freely avalable here: http://gimp-savvy.com/BOOK/

GIMP is one good example of how open source software can replace expensive commercial software, go team!
