It is worth pointing out to the unwary that Gimp only runs SOME of the
Photoshop Plugins. But if you haven't tried it, I would say "give it a
go". The PSPI interface has only worked with Linux for about a year
as it was originally aimed at GIMP for Windows.
Gimp is a good program. Easily the *best* "free" GUI tool out there for
Linux.
