I use photoshop too. Photoshop is designed to be a pre-press tool, allowing one to manipulate an image file with the assumption that the image is going to end up in print finally - though this isn't often the case.
Gimp is designed primarily as a tool to manipulate images that live on computers - though I get better print quality from Gimp than from Photoshop on my cheap printer Gimp does support scripting - the ability to repeated operations over and over automatically - from a script. I don't think photoshop can do that. There are also newer versions of gimp that work at a greater color depth Gord On Mon, 15 Apr 2002, George L Smyth wrote: > --- "Gordon J.
