and this isn't about learning a new app from scratch either. typically there's a new feature that simplifies what you've been doing before. for instance, content aware fill can in many cases, drastically reduce the amount of time needed to retouch a photo, and it's not that hard to learn how to use it.

Eric Stevens
Yeah. Photoshop and Gimp are the same except that Photoshop has content aware fill.

and a zillion more features.

Eric Stevens
How long does it take for you to learn a zillion more features?

nospam
you don't have to learn every single one of them, but they're there if you need or want any of them, something a gimp user will not have.

Eric Stevens
Agreed, but there is a learning time.

About the same learning timeit takes to learn oil paint, pencils, etc.

Now if you want to learn how to use them to effectively create art .........
