I use both of those, and perhaps I just need to be educated on new features. Gimp and Inkscape do much, but not all of what I want. As far as I can tell, however, neither of those really replaces Painter with its brushes, papers, and paints, etc. FWIW, I find the Gimp interface to be harder to use then Photoshop's, although that may just by the fact that I used Photoshop for so long and got used to how it worked. Also, I would say that while Gimp has come a long way, it really isn't up to what Photoshop can do.

It's called gimpShop. http://freshmeat.net/projects/gimpshop/ Robin Laing wrote: > There is a version of GIMP out that has a front end that is supposed > to be a clone of PhotoShop. I don't remember what it is called though.

I have never used Photoshop so I don't know what the differences are. Just moving from gimp 1.x to 2.x is enough of a change for me. From GimpShop's home page:
