I just looked at your profile and I noticed that your OS of coice is OSX. Let me ask you...why in the hell would you want to use GIMP when OSX has much better alternatives available?  :confused:

Of course there are alternatives to GIMP, but are you forgetting their cost, compared to GIMP which is really "free"? Why not install X Windows in OS X and benefit from Open Source software?

Well, he already has Photoshop(so obviously he has already purchased it or pirated it) so why go to something different? If he already paid several hundred $$$ for Photoshop wouldn't it be stupid to ditch it for something that is free and isn't as functional as Photoshop?

I say photoshop is better then gimp, but certainly not Paintshop Pro, which doesnt even have a scripting language... WTF is with that... I dont even think photoshop does, so is anyone going to post anything, the mac people have the stuff. And so does anyone with a decent Linux version

 I must have got on his nerves or something.
 Here is his PM in which i never send a reply.

Copy and paste for you.

He could give GIMP a try and not necessarily ditch Photoshop, which I agree is better than GIMP for the time being.

in a word. no. gimp is actually better than photoshop, so go and blow your dog. Also, you can get stuffed because you put no effort into justifying your ludicrous claim that gimp isn't as functional as photoshop, so i will put a similar amount into defending gimp, because a truly good program does not need defending.

however by using free software, he would be losing nothing and gaining a lot. tell me why he SHOULDN'T use gimp?

dumbass.

also, may i draw a parallel between your post and some very similar sentiments?:

"i live in a world where 3/4 of the population are dying of thirst, starvation, disease and war, but i am one of the lucky few, who belongs to one of the countries who are responsible for perpetuating this situation in order that me and my countrymen may become fat and complacent at the expense of others so why go to something different?"

WTF?????  I have used Photoshop before and I can't understand this bullshit about it being better than The Gimp. Come on! The only real argument I have ever seen is that Gimp doesn't separate to CMYK (or something) And only a fucking publisher or a Kinkos would give a fuck!!!
For anybody else, The Gimp is the shit!!! Besides, who is the fucking moron that pays $600 to screw around with pics at home???
I know Zombie didn't pay shit, cuz he's all talk, and doesn't put his money where his mouth is!!!

THAT is a fucking "hypocrite"!!!

If i find gimp to be a better alternative to photoshop, i would switch. It is just hard to use gimp when i know photoshop inside and out.

like i said, if i found gimp to be better, i would switch, or just use the combination of the two to get the job done.

i do not use it to screw around with photos at home. i use it for design. i am a graphic designer. i do flyers, posters, web graphics, magazine advertisments, plus the work for my full time job doing architectural presentations (flash, photoshop), touching up my photoreal & stylized renderings (using viz4 & photoshop), and constant work to finish this brochure    , where i do need the color seperations & cmyk. and photoshop is mearly a tool i use. if i found a a better tool, of course it would make sense to use it.
if the gimp can handle color like photoshop, and supports layers, transparency, masking, and time saving things like adjustment layers & alpha channels, i could consider using it.  
before i can really say anything about gimp, i probably should use it a little more thoroughly.

Mother fucker, I pay for every bit of software that I install on my system(other than free stuff like Winamp, WMP 9, etc.). There is only one piece of software on my system that isn't legit, but I do own a legit copy of the same software that I won't use because it has an invasion of privacy feature in it that the non-legit copy doesn't have. I'm not a lowlife cheap bastard(hence why I don't have to turn to Open Source because it is free ;P).

So product activation is "BS"? Don't MS have the right to stop their software from being 'stolen' by "lowlife cheap bastards"?

Maybe [email protected] would be interested to know that even one of their fanboys is so disgusted with their 'anti-piracy' measures he breaks the law in order to circumvent them.
