Re: Gimp vs Photoshop

I have used both and I would choose Adobe Photoshop over GIMP any day. Theres more tools and very easy to work on a project between their different programs.

so Photoshop.

Re: Gimp vs Photoshop

Photoshop and Illustrator seem endless in their capabilities compared to paint.net and gimp.

But use the free software if you will only be making a few pieces

(this thread is very old by the way)

Re: Gimp vs Photoshop

I started to use GIMP when I was 13, and I finally got to learn Photoshop last year. I definitely prefer Photoshop to GIMP, although the latter is certainly a viable alternative if you want a free image manipulation program.

Having used GIMP, Paint.net, and Photoshop CS3-CS6 (plus Elements 4 and PS Touch), I think Elements is the best bang for your buck, but it all depends on what you use it for. I use a Bamboo Pen and Touch to sketch and paint virtually, so I need Photoshop. But for basic editting, the freeware is a better route. Given unlimited funds I'd pick CS3 any day of the week.

Re: Gimp vs Photoshop

I know this is an old thread but I wanna chime in. We use both GIMP and Photoshop on the team. There are times when our students who are great with Photoshop are sick or swamped and the older mentors or other students step in to help. They prefer using gimp in this situation. However, my personal taste is with Adobe Creative Suite.

Clips are when you take a picture, cut the background out and just have the person, or whatever. Also, I agree with most of the people above, Gimp's userinterface is harder to work with than PS.
However, if you havent used either, it may not make a difference which program you choose.
I have done this with GIMP...it is pretty straightforward, but it is time consuming for more complicated paths.
