Photoshop 7 vs Gimp

For all non-linux users: I assume there are KDE binaries available for Windows&Mac.

Yes GIMP is available for Windows. I have used it on both Linux and Windows and I have never really liked it. To me, it seems more difficult to use than PS. Maybe that is just because I haven't spent enough time with it.

GIMP may be more work but the price makes it very attractive. Don't forget that Adobe Elements may be cheap, but upgrades aren't free, so GIMP saves you every time you get a new feature. Many folks, who criticized GIMP for lacking features have mostly ignored recent feature additions. I'd love to see 16 bit colors (they are currently worked on) and adjustment layers may be a nice thing to have, but both together aren't worth 100 Euros every other year.

BTW: I know very well, that GIMP runs under Windows, my wife uses GIMP on her laptop. It was digiKam I wasn't sure about. I just checked, and there seem to be binaries available here, although they're not the newest version.

Gimp is "image editing software", and so is adobe Photoshop. whatever program you get, your still going to go through the same thing.

I prefer Gimp, as it is free to use, and you can still get professional results.

I am using the XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro drawing tablet with screen for Gimp . It’s the best thing I ever did for photo editing. It’s seriously amazing.

I hope that helps.
