I really wanna know what the big deal about PhotoShop is. IMO, it's actually pretty overrated =\. I have used GIMP 2 (an awesome freeware graphics program) and PhotoShop CS2, and I have to say, GIMP 2 is just as good, if not better than PS. The only thing I see PS being better than GIMP at is blending, and cutting out images with the eraser/fuzzy select. GIMP 2 has way more filters than PS, and also has way more savable file types (without having to download an extra file). The only thing is that GIMP operates in 2 windows, but that doesn't bug me that much.
And if you're going to argue with me in this topic... Then I hope you have used GIMP 2 AND PhotoShop, and not just PS, otherwise you're just biased =P.

I used gimp, I just can't remember how long for. I think there are a lot of things in photoshop that you just haven't found yet. Some come to mind, I just can't remember what there called lol.

As XD said, there are plenty of things in Photoshop that you need to discover. I could never create anything LIKE what I do in GIMP. It's too hard to understand and just doesn't have the down-to-earth features that Photoshop has.
Gimp is a good program if you can't afford Photoshop, but if you can, you really should get to know PS. It's a good investment.

Meh... I've been messing around in PS, and still the only thing I really like is the blending/cutouts =\. If I needed, I could even get/use 3rd party PS filters in GIMP =P.

Photoshop I do think is overrated. I have it, waste of money in my opinion (thankfully I got a student discount since my LEAPP teacher last year ordered it for me). I like Paintshop Pro a lot more than anything I have ever used, it's just I won't order anything online, which is why I am waiting for Xmas (even with my birthday this Saturday, I am hoping for other stuff) to get it. I used GIMP for a few days, but I hated how it had different windows open, that made things frustrating for me, which is the reason it was uninstalled off of my computer days later. I right now have Serif Photoplus 6, a free graphics program, which I love. It's really similar to Photoshop and Paintshop Pro.

I've heard PSP is a very good program, I may look into it. As for the 2 windows in GIMP, it bothered me at first, too, but I kinda got used to it. I kinda started to like it, too XD.

I only use Photoshop because it's simply amazing what I can get it to do sometimes. After you get used to Photoshop and all it's commands, most people find it's an amazing program.
And no, I'm not biased because I learned only photoshop. I've seen some of the images other people make with GIMP, and it seriously didn't seem impressive enough for me to get it...
Oh, and everything is over-rated if you don't like it and it's popular...

Photoshop just OWNS that's all. I prefer photoshop over GIMP because it was the first graphics program i used. I tried other ones and always go back to photoshop. Even update to the newest versions...

I've been tempted to lock this thread since it's from September many times...but I just love rubbing it in CarnageX's face. Also, for those people who always say that you can do the same things in "X" program if you know your program well enough...I could say that about paint to. I could also be a very awesome Microsoft Word Artist.
