photoshop died on my mac.

it won't load anymore; when i click on the photoshop dock icon it crashes my computer.

so now i got rid of my mac, since without photoshop, it's useless. how much does ubuntu cost?

The GIMP just plain sucks. 

Anyone here who thinks the GIMP is usable has obviously never tried to use it.  I did, or at least I tried to.  The interface was so shitty that I couldn't do anything with it.  After three hours of my time were GONE, I still hadn't even figured out how to install the damn thing.  The installer just didn't work.  In fact, the installer wasn't even there.  I looked through every last folder on my PC, even the hidden ones, but it was nowhere to be found.  Talk all you want about upcoming interface and feature improvements, but as long as someone as computer savy as myself can't even locate the installer for it, the GIMP will never be worthwhile.
