Who uses GIMP (the image manipulation software)?
Who prefers GIMP over (albeit, more expensive) alternatives such as Adobe Photoshop? And why?
I'm writing an article on GIMP vs. Adobe. Any information anyone can provide would be hella helpful.
Professional Mac users and image retouchers will ALWAYS use Photoshop. Gimp is really only for students and people who want free image retouching software but don't want to pay for it so they would be the only people who would refer Gimp.
Everyone else including me would use Photoshop.
Photoshop works on Mac and PC.

I use GIMP because:
1. I have better things to spend $600 on.
2. It works on multiple platforms. In my case, Linux and Windows.

I use it and prefer it over Adobe Photoshop because of the interface it has. Adobe uses too much resources even for the simplest tasks. GIMP may not be considered a professional image editor, but it sure does give you professional looking results (in the right hands) just like Adobe.

I prefer GIMP because it's free and cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Windows).
And unless you are a professional graphic designer or photographer, it does pretty much anything you would want to do in Photoshop anyway.
