GIMP
-
I'm a fan of GIMP. And Inkscape. With both of them, the learning curve is a bit steep.
Paint.net is great, I use it daily, but it's not really an alternative to GIMP or PS, if you're using anything beyond the very most basic tools.

Hey Dan, I too like GIMP but haven't spent the time learning it properly.... It gets me by with what I want it for. I'm hoping the UI gets a little easier to handle in the next release though.
I guess I can't complain; it is free.

Hi,
With the last dev version, GIMP 2.7.1, There's an option that enable "single window mode"...no more floating pannels...I definitly gave up PS for this version of Gimp.
Cheers.

Hi Panga and thanks for the tip! I downloaded it and I like it (although unfortunately it does not save this state of the window on exit - YET? - so I always have to set it and adjust the width of some toolbars every time I load Gimp)

The single window mode is what's been missing....

Yes Gaieus, It's a known bug in windows version. But even with that, I do not regret Photoshop at all...What a pity the gimp dev team did not make this single window feature sooner !! And Now I've got my perfect couple of software for working : Gimp and Inkscape (another awesome application). I think that future version of Gimp'll have vector support, including ability to open SVG files from Inkscape !
Cheers.

What gimp has to do with blender? Two different apps, what's funny is that we (blender people) wish to make it look like blender one day. Now blender is more capable for PP via nodes. Nodes, something what Ps users haven't even in their dreams.
You have to spend some time learning these apps. At least the same time you spent to learn Ps. Gimp is fine. Learn it first. As for blender, well SU people, its not for you. As is LW, maya, modo etc etc...

Don´t you have to spend some time learning any app? Are "SU people" not willing to learn or harder to teach by definition?
-
all i have to say is if blenders so great why are you here talking to us?
Is it to enlighten us??...
