I think the point's being missed here. Yes, GIMP will do most of the things that Photoshop does, but is it as familiar and as widely used as Photoshop? Photoshop has become a very well known, "accepted standard," for image editing. Being used on Macs as well PCs. I know quite a few people who started out just playing with Photoshop for the hell of it, then turned into Photoshop gurus. For all I know that's possible and true with GIMP, but who do you know that doesn't know about Photoshop? When it comes down to it, it's what are people used to and comfortable using? And if Linux were get Photoshop, it could take over more of the PC market. I think most would agree with that. tdh -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- T.
