The Gimp

davekeogh · 10-14-2005, 10:15 AM

Are there any gimp users in the house? i generally tend to use it cause its free and cause it works on the three different platfors i use, windows, mac os x and linux. It makes my images high portable.
Today was the first day that i saw the gimp fall behind the rest of the field opening a 28Mb jpeg. Uncompressed it was 1.5Gb, madness i know but it took 10 minutes for my pc to return to me! I use it for my website, that and InkScape for all my needs... Thanks to google i found inkscape! and for helping me find gimp plugins...
