All that said, when you're serious about photography and raw you should seriously get away from Linux and The Gimp.

Why would you write this?

nospam
he wrote it because it's true.

Bob
So you're both saying that it's not possibile to produce good photos using Linux and Gimp?

nospam
nobody said that it's impossible.

Bob
Good, because it sure looked like that's what you were saying.

nospam
what is being said is that the gimp is inefficient, slow and clunky, with the alternatives leaving it in the dust.

Bob
Meaning you'll produce, what, 10x as many photos of equal or better quality than anyone using Gimp? 100 times? What do you mean by 'leaving it in the dust'?

or the same number of photos in 1/10 to 1/100th the time.

that's what more efficient means.

Does it bother you that someone else might use Gimp and be happy with it?

nope.

if someone likes making things more difficult than it needs to be, go for it.

just don't fault others for pointing out that there are much easier and simpler ways to do things.
