Poor? Want Photoshop?
Sep. 22nd, 2005 10:28 amFor those who aren't aware, GIMP, or GNU Image Manipulation Program, is an open source Photoshop "equivalent."
It isn't as good as Photoshop, according to the experts. One describes it as being about two releases behind Photoshop at any given point.
Some links comparing them:

However, Photoshop costs $700. GIMP can be acquired for free.
If you're on a budget and want photoshop-like capabilities, you might want to check it out.

I downloaded it last night and was naughty, staying up late to get started on the top banner for my website. :)
