Mac version on Photoshop has similar interface to Gimp so most complaints are from Photoshop for Windows users. Gimp is not hard at all.<br /><br />Speaking about CMYK support, there is an add-on called separate+ that allows exporting file in CMYK. Granted that Gimp still cannot read CMYK but it is better than nothingLuya Tshimbalangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05391142834277609577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-23948055156516004162010-07-09T23:58:47.708+03:002010-07-09T23:58:47.708+03:00Focus people!

I do photography and for me GIMP is enough (well... coupled with things like ImageMagick, Hugin and some plugins like GREYCstoration or Reshyntesizer)nicuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787116898361050437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-51062212927600761572010-07-09T22:25:22.599+03:002010-07-09T22:25:22.599+03:00I think many GIMP detractors are people like me wh...I think many GIMP detractors are people like me who were so used to Photoshop, we didn't want to have to re-learn a lot of things. But in the face of the recession, after switching from Mac to PC, I didn't want to re-pay for Adobe apps, so I've been forcing myself to learn GIMP.<br /><br />So far, GIMP has been able to do everything I wanted to do, but I had to Google a lot of it because the steps are different than in Photoshop. But once I get proficient on GIMP, I'll be able to use it on whichever platform I like as long as the community keeps developing it. The short-term pain will produce long-term gain.Greg Bulmashhttp://www.brainhandles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-56394844266528304282010-07-09T15:42:00.914+03:002010-07-09T15:42:00.914+03:00they also have one of my videos..... fł¶↓€ŧk s↓¶ŧt...they also have one of my videos..... fł¶↓€ŧk s↓¶ŧttaticahttp://tatica.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-39231903420351517042010-07-09T00:06:41.996+03:002010-07-09T00:06:41.996+03:00@Smooge: making the face look natural is much hard...@Smooge: making the face look natural is much harder than making it look like plastic, probably the easiest is to add the freckles back with a brush and specular light on the lips with the dodge tool.nicuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787116898361050437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-2059445166307797392010-07-08T23:19:49.343+03:002010-07-08T23:19:49.343+03:00I like the initiative i like the name and i guess ...I like the initiative i like the name and i guess you like the pub.

They say "Note: Full Source & License Available in Download Area" and if they're following through on that, they're meeting their GPL obligation.<br /><br />And they offer an online support board. If the help that new users get is good enough, and the product doesn't include spyware or something, it might be a good deal.Don Martihttp://zgp.org/~dmarti/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-32972534468839802742010-07-08T18:47:53.208+03:002010-07-08T18:47:53.208+03:00If people start copying your work, then it must be...If people start copying your work, then it must be good, Nicu :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593959736509291647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797212.post-18692884662870593662010-07-08T15:24:25.718+03:002010-07-08T15:24:25.718+03:00Looks like payments are processed through clickban...Looks like payments are processed through clickbank.
