RSS LinksIs GIMP better than Photoshop?
I pose the question to the audience.
For most of the design community, Adobe's Photoshop has always been there for you. You create your layered graphics and export it to your site and everything is well and good.
But now, there is a new face on the scene.
GIMP is a raster graphics program that can easily replace MS Paint. But can it replace Photoshop? I'll leave that argument to the GrimThing.com. They've posted an article about who would win in the battle between GIMP and Photoshop.
Ehh...personally, I would recommend Adobe Fireworks (Raster AND Vector graphics capable). :-)
If you want to see what GIMP can do, check out some of the tutorials.

The Gimp came installed on my RedHat distribution, so all I had to do was use it. Don't want to install Linux? The Gimp is available on Knoppix. Download an ISO for free, cut a CD and boot from it. Save your work to a thumb drive. All your old software will still be there when you're done.
Go through the annoyance of downloading GTK runtime in addition to the GIMP, or pay $250+ for Photoshop? I'd take the GIMP and save the money for beer.
