The GIMP

A few days ago I defended The GIMP in this or /prog from someone who had said it was a joke or something like that, as I had tried it just for a minute and had a look at what it could do.

Today I had to edit a couple very simple images for a "web sight": a paletized image, and a JPEG which needed to be expanded and filled with something different, and here at work I didn't have Paint Shop Pro at hand, so I had to use The GIMP.

I must say sorry Mr. Anonymous. You were right, The GIMP is indeed a joke.

Total failure :(

This just showed up on Slashdot:

Some chap has apparently redone the Gimp UI to be as close to Photoshop as possible, hopefully fixing usability problems. I'm gonna try it out.
