The main Linux image editing software equivalent of Photoshop is called Gimp, which a lot of people already use. I’d like to be one of them too, may it only be to have all my web design related software at the same computer, but they are making it very hard.

The thing is, at the moment Gimp is very unintuitive when you switch from Photoshop. I read some people (some from Quebec I think!)  are working on a new user interface for it. Hopefully the project will come to be because a new GUI would help a lot.

For starters, it wouldn’t take much more than modal windows… Having to go through the taskbar in search of your color palette panel is really frustrating.

I am, however, keeping an open mind on Gimp.
