eXxodus Yeah, although GIMP is harder to use, I think it's going to be your best alternative, unless Photoshop does actually come in Linux versions. The gimp homepage has some tutorials that are okay (http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/), and this website...

Just an Ordinary Owl? Luvuman mentions Inkscape, another excellent freeware/opensource GNU project. Inkscape is a vector-based graphics program, with more similarities to Corel Draw than to Photoshop or the Gimp (which are bitmap editors with some vector capabilities). Inkscape...

Just an Ordinary Owl? The Gimp has got a good deal better since I last used it. It looks like the next version will be a very strong contender against Photoshop. The Gimp runs natively under Linux (Ubuntu included, of course). The interface is rather different from Photoshop...

momalisa65 I like version 7 just because it was the first one I got and I know it well. I also have 9 only because I like the One Step Photo Fix feature. But I still use 7. I just don't feel like learning anything new.

mikesgal4ever1999 I started out using PSP 8 about 4 years ago and I haven't changed. I have thought about going to a newer version but just haven't yet. Guess I am a creature of habit LOL I have heard that version 7 and 9 are similar though.

Taskr36 I feel your pain Santuccie. I felt exactly the same way when I used Ubuntu. My problems weren't with the mouse though, they were with the keyboard. Half the time when I would start the computer only 3, 7, g, h, and n would work from the keyboard. Since none of...

santuccie I like Linux because it is free and fast. I also like the fact that you don't have to defragment the hard drive, nor keep track of what programs need updates. It's all done for you. I use Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna. It's dual-booted with Windows XP Pro Corp.,...
