A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm an old guy (started with Photoshop 5 -- not CS5; 5), and GIMP has never felt like software trying to help me accomplish a goal. It's the vi of image editors.
I’ve never used Photoshop in my life, but use GIMP all the time. Think it has more to do with the workflow you’re accustomed to. Granted, a vi user would probably say the same thing lol.

I've played with it for a little bit, but at this point, I'm so far removed from print design, I gave up after kicking the tires. When my resume ceased to be able to get anywhere as a PDF'd INDD, I tucked tail and went back to Word.
