I never really saw PS as the world's premier example of ease-of-use, but regardless, this guy's done his homework and has come out in favour of PS for his students. Surely he knows best? It seems a sensible enough choice to me, given its position as the industry standard. Since he's using Macs, he should probably put Seashore(1) on his watch list. It's a native fork of the Gimp, so it should help sooth his interface pains. I have no idea what the feature list is like though, or what their roadmap is. He may find it useful to look at in the future (as well as Gimp) if he's in this predicament again. Anyway, Digg, Slashdot et al should provide you with enough comparisons to make you wish you'd never started this thread. :p Regards, David (1) http://seashore.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
