very true, and with photoshop elements being around $50, it's actually cheaper than dealing with the gimp when you consider the time and effort spent. elements is faster, easier to use and does substantially more than the gimp (including older versions which can be had for even less money).Tony CooperAlan Browne
You'd think some people have just discovered that Photoshop is a good program and feel compelled to tell the world about it.
I forgot to add:
In reality many Photoshop users (myself included) despise Adobe and the high price of using it and we would love for the Gimp to displace it.
However, the 'cost' of using the Gimp is far heavier than the cost of using Photoshop so we stick to Photoshop.
And yes, we tell anyone using the Gimp that they are not using the tool of choice of most serious photographers. The tool with the most features, abilities, ease of use and the most support of various kinds including 3rd party plugins.yep.
The OP (assuming he's not a troll) came here for help and most here use Photoshop - so the replies given reflect the sad reality of Photoshop dominance. Akin to the even sadder dominance by Microsoft in OS and office apps.
Sucks. But that's the way it is.
there's a reason why photoshop is the dominant tool, because it has earned it.
