The Gimp

I am relatively new to photography as a hobby, and I am a Linux user.

The GIMP GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program is the primary Linux image manipulation tool which I have some little experience of (Basic crop, rotate brightness/contrast etc).

I am wondering if there are any other GIMP users out there who would be willing to put up with some of my questions?

Would I be better off using other packages instead. Photoshop for example?

Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,

There is a site with video blogs all about the gimp.

Meet the GIMP!

Cheers Rex

Hi Steve, Now that Photoshop Elements 6 is out there will be some very good deals on Elements 4 or 5 which is still a very good program for photo editing without spending a furtune on CS3. Although saying that CS2 or 3 is well worth having if you can streath ti it.

Actually, I've been persevering with the GIMP, which seem to do just about everything I need.

It's taken a while, but I'm more or less getting there.
