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.

Interface...total failure

Total failure :(

Ha ha, that was Linux man (zOMG!!), and I had to kill it because it hanged. I was in preferences, editing image window titles (the thing with %s %whatever to show file information on it); I tried %x and it just hanged. I was trying to see if there was a way to see how frigging large the picture is, because I must be very retarded, but I couldn't find a way to make Gimp tell me what's the actual pixel size of the image I'm working with! (Oh, but I could tell how much RAM is it using, cool.)

Exactly, sorry for having said that, I thought The GIMP would be somewhat good with all the features, and you were a fanboy; turns out I was making wrong assumptions.

It's as you said, I want to like GIMP because it's free and I'm working on a Linux box and having to get a Windows box and install PSP (the other one I had was reassigned) would be a hassle, but I guess I'll have to, even for trivial things.
