THE GIMP (a photoshop alternative)

this is why there's no excuses for bad avatars, its a free alternative to photoshop, and its very easy to use... i use it a lot, only use photoshop because i have to at school. so if you havent already, go and download it here.

Make that very very easy to use, with it I made a few designs like this:

For a few friends of mine.

sweet..

I don't really like GIMP I prefer Photoshop CS2 & CS4

i do agree photoshop is better... but gimp is easier to use.. especially for first timers..

Moved to Art Studio.

It depends, I agree with werewolf in the fact that GIMP is easier than Photoshop.
But as for all image editing programs it depends on how you use them.

In my opinion I like GIMP more due to its speed and ability to add filters.
But Photoshop can also do this and has more starter filters.

I just use the ones I have on hand like Paint and Photoshop (my brother got it for reasons unknown). Haven't tried GIMP yet, what's it like?

Think of it as an easier version of Photoshop.
GIMP has less things than it though.
Heres an example of what you can make in GIMP with practise.
Its my 3th try at the style.

Spoiler:

Make that the banner now, Ben. In a banner-like size, of course.

Wow, didn't know it was that good.
werewolf, can you make the text? I'm rubbish with text placing.

Forget what I said about the text thing,
In GIMP it takes some getting used to.
Hows that?

i just realised.. i was supposed to be doing the text thing... my bad
