Same thing here, if you know PS then GIMP is quick to pick up. Skip the middle man and go to the source.Īnd thoughts about gimpshop? Just use GIMP, if you can use MS word then any other word processor works the same. To follow a link to an executable (for example today 5 months later) you are certainly limiting yourself to an old version. Unlike the slow paced world of closed source software, open source software often come out with regular updates and enhancements. However, I think so for different reasons. If you're intereste din a book that helps lay it out check out "GIMP 2 for photographers" - Image Editing with Open Source Software- by Klaus Goelker.Ībout the link to the file above, I agree that a link to the executable is not a good idea either. Not as out of the box as some users need, but if you're smart enough to understand digital photography, moving a few files around is a cinch. UFRAW and GIMP work well together once you set it up. I speak from the linux world and a Nikon D70 User. Something it isn't, and use the right tool for the job. Office is all that National Geographic really needs to get the magazine out the door? Yetīoth Open Office and InDesign include tools to edit text, and intersperse images amongst Office? And can you understand why we'd all be dismissive if you suggested that Open Would you get as offended if I said you'd be nuts to try to publish a magazine using Open I also think it's insulting to them to compare ![]() ![]() Should be proud of the work they've done. What they've done is impressive, and they The image to even be usable without working in 16 bits.Īs I wrote above, I admire the Gimp project. The fireworks image there's just too much detail and noise lurking in all those shadows for The lack of 16 bit support alone is a deal breaker for Images, for example, and I can't even imagine bothering to use the Gimp for what I did.Īnd I *really* can't imagine using the Gimp for what I need to do to them to get them to The two images in my portfolio are in the top Virtually every highly-rated image on has gone through Photoshop, whether it The Gimp is about where Photoshop was in the '90s. I've used the Gimp a reasonable amount, and I work a lot in but it's really not in the same league as the commercial tools. Try the GIMP, even if just to see what it's all about. For people that don't need most of those features, but (as most people do) need to still be able to work with RAW files, Google's free Picassa is an excellent choice. it doesn't matter what user interface you paint on top of the GIMP, it's wildly lacking in features, compared to PS. You're better off linking people to the site where such tools are developed, and citing other sources for the legitimacy of the download.Īll that being said. But you have to understand that a great deal of the software that ends up creating spam-spewing bot-nets is loaded onto people's machines in exactly this way. If you like the sound of piece of open source software, track it down through a known, reputable download source (say, CNET or someplace like that), and make sure you're fetching it from a reliable server that you know hasn't poisoned the well with malware of some sort. Regardless of how authentic Neil's suggestion or proposal may be: I hope nobody here, EVER clicks on a link like that, which takes you right to an executable (.EXE) file.
