Hey, I'm C.Rogers, the original poster of this thankyou note that's got everyone bashing GIMP against Photoshop... which entirely misses the point of it. People seem hell-bent on comparing GIMP to Photoshop, saying they don't compare. Well, it's easy to say that isn't it? I came from 13+ years of Photoshop experience, with about 7 of those used in the professional world. I've since packed on another near decade using GIMP (at first in conjunction with Photoshop), I have since replaced Photoshop entirely in my professional work, and I use it every day. The biggest thing stopping professionals from using GIMP is the erroneous notion that it can't be used for the same professional tasks as Photoshop. I'm half tempted to start a YouTube channel called GIMP SUCKS, and fill it with screencaptures of my graphics work done entirely in GIMP. That's not just magazine adverts, that's billboards, that's convention booths, it's over 100 new products of my own design, and nearly 20,000 product photos. So please, if you have something specific to complain about, go post a bug report, or a wishlist item like a decent human being. Repeating over and over that GIMP can't replace Photoshop for professional work doesn't make it any more true. Here's some eye-candy for the nay-sayers: https://goo.gl/UwxEGp https://goo.gl/UwxEGp
