What made me curious to ask the question was because so many FOSS photography software tools are available on multiple operating systems.

If you’re someone who is just genuinely curious, sorry if I was harsh if you’re a troll …serves your right But it’s to be expected when you post in a FOSS forum promoting commercial software that is aimed to immitate another commercial software, hinting that what we already have here and are proud of is somehow not good enough. Open source projects such as Blender already surpass commercial software in many ways, and complaining that the interface is slightly different from other softwares is a silly excuse …learn to use it, nobody is born knowing an interface, all software have a learning curve.Īnyway rant over. Point is that an awesome innititative such as GIMP should be encouraged as much as possible, especially when such improvements as we have laid out now are on the horizon.

There are still people out there for whom only things they pay money for are worth the effort …but then again there’s plenty kids out there eating boogers too. The days when smarty pants persons who only wanna use “industry standard” software would tease the FOSS community are gone.
