What about giving more publicity to Windows development builds? I guess the Linux guys have enough qualification to obtain news or compile and give them a try by themselves :), but the majority of potential users use Windows. And as professionals also use Windows or Macs their feedback could be welcome. > > Personally, the most interesting fact for me in this discussion is that > finally the "GIMP is not a clone of Photoshop" is getting across - the GIMP > developers did never claim this themselves, people just want (or demand :) it > to be. The time goes by, nothing stays unchanged. A voting can be issued via Internet, but I'm almost sure most of the users use GIMP and similar software for photo retouching now. As the digital imaging comes in people's houses, processing of photos becomes a demand. The number of users who need some kind of painting software for content creation from scratch (as Gimp was claimed to be used as designed) increases slowly, but the number of people who needs all-in-one tool for both photo processing and content creation grows. -- With respect Alexander Rabtchevich _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
