Nice tool for small and fast edits.

Little bit complicated in usability after Adobe counterpart but has advantages and it is OSS.

I think that gimp is good, but usability is not good enough

Not A Replacement For Photoshop


GIMP  by an anonymous user on July 31st 2008 at 04:17 PM

Until GEGL is completed and includes support for HDR The Gnu Image Manipulation Program (The GIMP) is not a viable replacement for Photoshop for anyone that requires greater than the 8-bit color range or CMYK support.

Filling the Gap: Open Clip Art Library Provides More than 26,000 Images

Open Clip Art LibraryWould you like some Libre content to go with those free and open source applications? One of the initial challenges that the open source community has had in supplanting proprietary solutions is not just the software itself, but the entire ecosystem that has built up around proprietary software. Case in point: While you can find top-notch free and open source tools to create artful documents, finding clip art and templates that are free is a much bigger challenge.

Luckily for FLOSS enthusiasts everywhere, projects like the Open Clip Art Library (OCAL) are stepping up to fill the gap. A little bit of history. The project started in 2004 to hold freely available clip art. What started out as a modest site with a small collection of clip art has blossomed into a monster-sized collection of goodies.

Is there a good open source Flash development program?

I am slogging through the development of my real estate website. I see Flash content on really cool sites. I am also delving into creating photographic panoramas because they convey such a realistic view of the property. Hugin or GIMP?

thanks,

GIMP 2.4.5 on Mac OS X

New Mac user here (I previously used GIMP on my PC). When I open a jpg file on my Mac, the image properties are substantially different than the original. For example, I take large format digital photos and they are usually 3,888 x 2,592 px with a file size of around 4 MB. When I open the same picture in GIMP the file properties are 360 x 240 px. This never happened on my PC. I can't find anything in the documentation to explain this. What am I missing (besides a bunch of pixels)?

Thanks

Any good GIMP tutorial sites for beginners?

I'm just starting to use GIMP to do some basic web design. I have no professional training/background in either web design or GIMP and am looking for some good tutorial resources that could help me scale the learning curve quickly.

I ran a couple of google searches and there are 100s of sites that talk about GIMP but I was hoping someone could point me to a couple that would be useful for a first-time user like myself...

Has anyone used seashore?

Seashore is an image editor for the mac os. I currently use Gimp and am very happy with the feature set - although I have printing related issues from time to time which isn't really a big deal.

Was hoping to get some feedback on seashore to see if it makes sense to take this for a test drive.
