If you use Windows, consider Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net http://www.getpaint.net) instead of GIMP. It's much quicker (particularly the 4.0 beta builds)

- cobalt 13y agoSure, but it doesn't do nearly as much. Especially when creating graphics from scratch
- tracker1 13y agoI like Paint.Net a lot on the windows side... for Mac/Linux alternative, look into Pinta http://pinta-project.com/ http://pinta-project.com/ ... it's essentially a cross-platform port of Paint.Net They do the vast majority of what most people need in a simple photo editor.
- skrowl 13y agoLooks like a clone rather than a port (as paint.net isn't open source you can't really port it), but I'll take a look. Their github (https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta) makes it look like the project may be abandoned.
- tanzam75 13y agoIt's a port of Paint.net 3.3.6 from .NET to Mono. Paint.net used to be MIT-licensed, and 3.3.6 was the last version that was released open-source. Besides, the UI in Paint.net 4.0 has been rewritten to use WPF. That makes it essentially impossible to port to Mono.
- kyrra 13y agoFor OSX, Pixelmator[0] is a great tool for the price ($30). I've used Paint.NET a lot, but since being on OSX a lot more for my job, Pixelmator is definitely a step-above Paint.NET. But as always, Photoshop is the best out there. [0] http://www.pixelmator.com/ http://www.pixelmator.com/
