I started using Gimp about a year ago and like it pretty well. I was a Photoshop user before that and still use it on occasion.

What is your favorite graphics program?

photoshop.

photoshop has become an industry standard and people like me who are looking for a job should learn photoshop because it will help landing a job that uses it.

I use Gimp most of the time. I will, however, load Photoshop through WINE from time to time.

I use the Gimp usually. On rare occasions I have to use Photoshop, which is why I like that nice tutorial site posted by smiffy in this thread (http://www.bluehostforum.com/showthread.php?t=97).

Before this year, I was ready to die for Photoshop, having used it in its various versions for about 8 years now. However I have lately been using GIMP and I´m quite impressed at the relative speed of launching it (compared to Photoshop). Although I would not call myself a "Power" Photoshop user, I am yet to miss it since using GIMP now for two months ... perhaps too soon to tell...

Thumbs up for GIMP:cool:

Inkscape is also nice for vector graphics.

I use Photoshop, but GIMP is great if you dont have money / dont want to pirate. IT has lots of great features.

For anyone who is accustomed to Photoshop but would like to try the Gimp, there's GimpShop (http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294)...basically, this guy (Scott Moschella) took the Gimp and rearranged/renamed things to make it feel more like Photoshop. Oh, and it's cross-platform, too...Windows, Linux, and Mac. It's even Universal...as opposed to Photoshop, which might not be released as a Universal binary for over a year!

I use Paint Shop Pro 9 (too cheap to upgrade to 10). I tried Photoshop a few times, but was lost. PSP is easier for the amateur to learn than Photoshop.

Now if Gimp had batch processing and script writing, which it might, I just haven't been able to find it, then I could ditch my Windows OS completely.

Kubuntu it's easy enough for wintards like me :D

Gimp has both batch processing (http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/) and scripting functionality (http://www.gimp.org/docs/scheme_plugin/). The default scripting environment uses Scheme, but there's a compile option you can set to include the capability for Python scripting and possibly Perl (though if Perl isn't built-in, I know there's a third-party fix).

I'll check that out. If it's as easy to batch as PSP, I will be one step closer to complete OS freedom :D

I have PhotoShop, too, but like PSP better....
Although, I might just take a look at GIMP...

The GIMP every time... but then on Kubuntu, I don't have to think about it much!

I hear the interpolation algorithms in Gimp are superior but I've been using Photoshop since version 2.5 so I can't stop using it now. The UI works for me.
