AND .... the lack of CMYK colorspace in the Gimp is a SERIOUS drawback for professional print design ... there is absolutely no way to do prepress work without CMYK, not to mention L.A.B., yet another colorspace used by some professional color technicians ...

( yeah, i'm aware gimp is free )and.. well.. i got more plugins | on it than i can count.. i mean it's just endless.. | | just so you get this, i made a backup on cd of my plugins folder...... | 700 mb out of 89 kb files....... | | in my opinion, photoshop is above the gimp just for now.. | because it's so expandible.. | | .but anyhow, linux is just a newborn in multimedia stuff, because it | was not designed with that in mind.. was it? | | and i agree with whoever said ( don't remember now ) that that guy should | have brought the "games" issue up as well, and he would be right to do so.. | | about the article, i agree with it partially.. i'd twist the order | of that list a little, of course... in my opinion, if you | are going to use linux in an office, ms-office compatibility is vital, | not only for in-office use, but to send and receive from/to many places | that will surely be using the ms suite... | | | Damian | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- | Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? | Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com | _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
