Photoshop or Gimp

[Antonio00]

Here goes, I dont know which one is easier to use, is it Photoshop or Gimp? I like photoshop very much & recently I tried to use Gimp but I didn't like it. Any suggestions

I like the Photoshop CS3 version but in times I prefer using the Photoshop to create icons & save them in jpeg files & then I open Gimp to save them again in ICO files. Photoshop is the best software & I do all my designs in it. All other Adobe Creative Suite are my favourite apps. Whereas the Gimp is used more by the designers who dont use photoshop & they want good results out of it. It comes for free & it is still a good software. But the no.1 software for me is Photoshop.

If you have used Photoshop for a long time then you might find it weird to use Gimp cause Gimp has a very different interface to it. If you have used Gimp on the first place you might have found it a perfect image editor & also as noted it comes for free as well. So its vice versa.

Well, I would go for Gimp all the way
