BobNot at all. Nowhere have I said there was anything lacking in the images many produce using GIMP. You might recall me saying the following: "... using it is a royal PIA, and other software available for Windows and OSX is superior in all ways. However, some GIMP users who have no desire to use Win or OSX, and only think open source freeware have been able to produce acceptable images."

[ ... ] but your GIMP/Linux advocacy where you denigrate all who disagree with your choices does nothing to advance your cause. None of the examples of your work which we have seen presents an argument for the superiority of GIMP over any other software. Your sense of superiority over others of us in these photo NGs is misplaced.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Floyd on the other and implies some sort of intellectual deficiency and lack of quality of work with any who don't see things his way, even when we have produced imagery which refutes that stance.
The quote you cited above was in response to just that attitude expressed by Floyd when we had this exchange: "You seem to be taking a somewhat lofty and condescending perch there Floyd.
Compared to what you've posted???? Get real.I don't claim to be a creator of great photographic art. However, what I produce I do with deliberation and thought to reach satisfying results. Not everything I share is perfect, sometimes there are problems. Sometimes I find a solution to a particular problem, many times I don't, but I have no problem sharing those images to see if there is something I can learn from constructive criticism. So is there a particular image of mine which you can point to with particular distain?"
I don't recall seeing any links to your GIMP processed images in this NG, but mine can be found without too much trouble. Floyd further implies that because I go no further than test driving GIMP that I am somehow deficient and have a personal problem. I have never made that sort of arrogant denigrating remark with regard to Floyd or any of the Linux/GIMP advocates. I have recognized Floyd as knowledgeable on a wide range of technical issues and a decent photographer. He, on the other hand refuses to acknowledge anybody else's knowledge and experience.
