Graphics Editors

[Tra_XxX]

Since I don't have access to photoshop anymore I'm downloading some free graphics editors from tehz internetz to see if they compare. GIMP and Serif Photoplus are the ones I'm currently downloading. Has anyone ever used these editors before? Do they compare to photoshop? I don't mind not having the best but I want something that works reasonably well and I don't particularly want to spend money on one.

Your thoughts? I'll post back with mine later.

Well, the photoplus one didn't install GIMP looks pretty good though. I shall have to try creating something properly when I'm on my desk

I use GIMP. It is very well when used properly. And next time make sure you edit your post and not double post.

[Tra_XxX]

Hehe, okay Yeah, it looks good but can you use things like filters such as on photoshop?

[gfxman]

Well you should i really don't know off the top of my head iff not look for plug-ins. Here's a site with plug0ins and tuts: www.gimptalk.com/forums

Ah, thanks very much indeed I'll take a look

[gfxman]

No Problem.

Hey! I was playing around with GIMP today and made a banner; it's not much but it's my first creation with GIMP I'll try and improve, I might use a photograph of something next time and see what I can do

Edit: It's in my sig.

[gfxman]

Yeah it's easier to create thing with images.

[Tra_XxX]

I agree, and it gives you a basis of something to work towards

[gfxman]

Yeah. With an image it's more blending and effects then anything else.
