You might not have liked my answer, but it won't change: GIMP is garbage. > Why would somebody invest in crippleware ... instead of investing in Photoshop (the industry's standard) Acorn is $0 and does the job very well for the basic stuff. Photoshop CS5 is $699. Why pay $699, or spend 6 month trying to understand the alien ways of GIMP, when you can just get Acorn for free and get done with what you need to? > or in an open-source alternative that is just as capable, only more complicated to use and less standard. Because it's complete and utter garbage. Open-Source garbage doesn't stink less just because it's so free you can make your own. And again, if you're so stuck on OSS, OSX (which you shouldn't be using in the first place since it's not open) has Seashore, which is serviceable, Cocoa and which I note you conveniently ignored. > Personally I love GIMP ... More power to you, eh. You're a minority. |
