Unfortunately (as you know) there's a million and one other things that are getting done prior to my being able to update my personal blog. Soon enough, though. Soon enough.

The price is very nice, and the ability to write python scripts to do things is pretty cool. I like the distinction between master windows and slave windows better (though I think that's more of a Windows Manager thing). I also have moved mostly into linux for my day-to-day computering, so I like that the Gimp actually runs on my OS. There are things that I like Photoshop better for. I <em>love</em> layer management in Photoshop, and it's just nowhere near as good in the Gimp. Layer grouping, editing multiple layers at once, lots of little things like that - it doesn't happen in the Gimp. I haven't noticed that it is slow, but then again, I've got gigs and gigs of RAM. As for unintuitive, I think it's mostly a question of being used to some things in Photoshop vs. doing them in the Gimp. And I think that, in general, it runs a little better on a linux machine.

I tried using it for some of my standard tasks, but it seemed slow in places and unintuitive in others. Maybe I'm just used to photoshop. What do you think of GIMP?
