Gimp is better. You're kidding right? Have you actually compared both? While I don't use PS pro normally, I have used both, and as much as I wish Gimp was better than Corel, and even half as good as Photoshop (since it's free), it still isn't yet. (unless it's improved drastically in the month or two since I looked at it last.) Great value for money of course :-) Trevor. |

The problem is that you are misreading the article to which you are responding. Alan Browne put his tongue in his cheek and wrote "Gimp is better". I responded to Alan by posting the link to the tech specs of of the PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate. You seem to have decided that you are responding to but the one Usenet article and you have further confused the issue by deleting the URL I posted without mentioning that you had done so.

| Alan Browne put his tongue in his cheek and wrote "Gimp is better".
| | I responded to Alan by posting the link to the tech specs of of the | PaintShop Pro X5 Ultimate. | I'd be curious to hear details about those opinions. I've used the new GIMP a bit, but not enough to form an opinion. I mainly use PSP5 for general editing. A few years ago I bought PSP 7 or 8 but I found it bloated with a lot of unnecessary "tools". I haven't tried PS since v. 5. What I'm curious about is what is really different. I typically use contrast/brightness/saturation/hue/ cutting and patching selections/ etc. To my mind something like a higher quality contrast or brightness function would be notable, if such a thing is even possible. (I'm not so sure it is. Those functions are plain math.) But with "features" like the PS ability to "predictively fill-in" background after an item is removed from a photo (like filling in trees when a barn is removed from a landscape), while an interesting feature that might sometimes be useful, especially for commercial work in a hurry, I wouldn't count that in judging a program as an overall graphic editor. |

You *are* aware that non-linear functions are math, too? -Wolfgang |
