Photoshop vs Gimp

[Randy]

Which one is better? Is photoshop worth the money? Is Gimp just as good?

I would say photoshop is better just because it costs money but I haven't used it in several years. Probably 2008 was the last time I used it. I use gimp nowadays for basic image editing. I can't do cool stuff like @.Xstinct does.

If you don't need anything beyond the basics, stick with (Forrest) Gimp.

GIMP is to confusing for me ....and my Photoshop version is from 2005,and when it comes to customer support Adobe sucks.

Nope don't really need it.

Nope don't really need it.

Plus the version you have is probably free/paid for and the newest versions charge monthly to have access? (I think)

 

[Megan]

I never used Gimp, and only did a trial of photoshop. I hate that it’s a monthly subscription.

I myself just use Paint Shop Pro.

Paint Shop Pro.

Oh yeah, I remember that program. Forgot about it. Maybe I'll download a copy and play around.

Photoshop 100%, GIMP is very limiting, photoshop offers a lot more freedom.

I remember downloading a bootleg version back in the day and my computer was fucked after that. Lol, I guess I deserved it.

Lmao,my comp crashed so I lost my PS. I contacted Adobe but no help there. So I asked a hacker mate for helo,he gave me the best tip ever...and I got my PS back

Let me guess. Adobe's "solution" was for you to "simply" pay for a new license?

Yeah that,bunch of assholes.

 

[Smiley]

Did you manage to retrieve the license from your hard drive? It should be possible to dig licenses out from the Windows Registry unless the hard drive is completely dead.

Yep,that is what my mate suggested. Lucky for me I found the key....nowadays I have several keys for back up.
