Actually you stated "the productivity enhancements of a tool you really know far outweigh the price of it", which is wrong if you have zero money. With zero money Gimp will always reign supreme.
- Aozaki_Touko 14y agoIf you're a professional though you don't exactly have "zero money". The amount spent on a DSLR alone is bigger than what you'd spend in a Photoshop license. The only way that would make the GIMP an alternative to photoshop would be for your time to be worth NOTHING.
- kaffiene 14y agoI've worked in several jobs where I could use either tool and I choose to use the Gimp. This has a lot to do with familiarity on my behalf, but I have used Photoshop in other jobs where that was part of their tool chain and I found PS as difficult to learn as the Gimp (i.e.: not hard but for advanced features you need to experiment or read the manual. these days you'd just Google)
- marcusf 14y agoI don't necessarily know that that is an insult, but sure, if you're short on cash then free is always better and certainly beats piracy. I was thinking in terms of professional tools, and the output value delta of something you know well (this might just as well be the Gimp) compared to unfamiliar software.
