| Nice write-up. About the only thing I do with photo's is resize so both programs are overkill for me.  |

Very true. Although, if you are editing images for online use, both PS and GIMP have some very useful features to keep viewing quality up and image file size down (way down). Manta  | |

| Awesome review, I have been wanting CS2...but I think I will try GIMP first. I am currently running on a Dell lattitude Laptop with a pentium III 733MHz processor. This is Temporary as I save money to build a good computer. |

Manta: Very nice article (another thread? lol) Minor technical detail, the Gimp requires GTK+ on every platform. It's an event-driven app run by GTK+'s infinite loop. I do have a question for you (if Paul didn't beat me to it). Do you know whether Gimp's a multi-threaded app? I had a hard time finding information about it. From what I read on some forums, it sounds like it can be compiled for multi-threading but it's not optimized for it. J/W if you know for sure since you've spent a lot of time with it for your article. | |
