I’m using GIMP 2.4 at my job to make a website and I heard a lot of people bad-mouthing it so I expected having a bad time with it, but it’s really usable. And I had no experience of it before, my previous experience of photo editing takes me back 7 years ago in high school and with some Paint Shop Pro.
At work I have Photoshop in a windows within a VirtualBox in my Ubuntu, and … it’s awfully slow. I mean gimp isn’t fast to start up but Photoshop is something else. It takes about 20 seconds to start up.
So having the choice between the two I chose to use Gimp and I’m really happy with it. Can’t wait to try 2.6 and all its new nice features.
