Escaping the Photoshop trap
,----[ Quote ]
| FOR the longest time, Adobe Photoshop was the biggest deal breaker for many
| people who considered moving from Windows to Linux. The most popular
| commercial image editing program was simply unavailable on Linux, and the
| free and open source Gimp—short for GNU Image Manipulation Program—was often
| regarded as a poor man’s substitute.

| But the significant improvements in the latest version make Gimp an excellent
| tool for most home users, digital photographers and Web designers, many of
| whom will be able to break free of the Photoshop trap.

Quality image editing on any platform

| In the beta, demo version of Pixel not all features are completely finished
| but for most users the capabilities of this remarkable piece of software are
| more than adequate to overshadow most other image manipulation applications.
| If you already have Photoshop running on Windows or Mac, or have gone through
| the pain of getting it to work on Linux using Wine, then you probably don’t
| need Pixel. But if you’re tired of second-rate images on Linux, or just want
| a quality, affordable image editor for any platform, then Pixel is a great
| alternative.

Web designing with Ubuntu

| As a freelance web designer, I really thought migrating to Ubuntu Linux will
| give me a really hard time. I never thought that Ubuntu Linux has a very good
| graphic design tool that can do what I am doing with Photoshop. Although Gimp
| is still way too different with Photoshop, I still see Gimp as a very
| powerful tool in graphic and web designing. It also possess features that
| Photoshop has.
