Thank you, Frank. By coincidence, I also had this discussion on Slashdot
last night. It all began when a museum chose the GIMP rather than a
commercial product for visualisation.
I haven't used recent versions of Photoshop all that much although it's
legally installed on my Window$ partition. I was using it quite extensively
as a teenager though. Once I could handle the GIMP, I found that it did the
relatively simple jobs I was after (e.g. add shade, make banner) more
quickly. PS can be quite a heavy bastard at times and I really miss Script
Fu when I use it.
Thanks again for your opinion,
Roy
