Best graphics program?

Taming the interface does take some time but I can now work many times faster with Photopaint than I can with Photoshop. I'd disagree with your comments on image manipulation though - how can it not compete? In my experience, I've yet to see anything PS can do that PP can't!

Love your av, btw!

www.gimp.org, powerful, very nice and very free
You will also find a lot of tutorials for it.
It's got versions both for Linux and Windows.

For simple vectorial drawings, you can use with success InkScape. I don't know if that has a windows version though... but it's still free.

Right gimp.org is the best, you will have the power of Photoshop for FREE, anything you can done in Photoshop can be done also in Gimp...trust me...is good..

Gimp is excellent on Linux but cannot be compared on Windows with Photoshop and other specialist image manipulation software on Windwows

Same here !

I think that Photoshop is the best software for editing and makeing designs. Nothing compare with photoshop. Of course it is not very easy to use from the begining but in time it can be more useful like any other soft, because it makes all that other soft can do

Just out of curiosity what exactly did you miss in Gimp that you had in Photoshop... ? I'm really curious...

Temi, there is Gimp also for Windows and a few weeks ago I have read in PCWORLD magazine a comparative test betwin Photoshop & Gimp...gues what.....no difference. The version 2.0.2 of the Gimp has no difference..The only major difference is the cost. GIMP cost NOTHING, FREE, so guys, use it
You can find here the Windows version of the Gimp: gimp.org/windows/

Ovi,
very very impressive, I am converted to Gimp now instead of using illegal Photoshop I will now download Gimp
Temi

I tell you the true, I use both on my computer, till I will know the full functionality of the Gimp, is not easy after 3 years of Photoshop to pass to another one, but I can tell you that is very very similar.
And by the way..I am tired to use illegal copies of the Photoshop, and I cannot afford to buy a license

I'm very skeptical about downloading something of that quality, which costs absolutely ZERO. :shock:

Does anyone have any experience detecting Adware/Spyware, and if so, do you see any evidence of the AW/SW in this program?

I'd love to try this one out, but I've been burned too many times downloading, "FREE" stuff.

Thanks

Paul
