I disagree. Anyone who's serious about their business wouldn't rule out an application simply by it's name without considering it, especially if it's highly recommended. You may have a point given 2 software boxes on a shelf, "Photoshop" is more descriptive than "Gimp" - But that isn't how people acquire Gimp. -- Anthony Ettinger phone: 408-656-2473 resume: http://chovy.dyndns.org/resume.html Currently available for contract work blog: http://www.chovy.com _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
