Stop pirating Adobe software, use Free Software instead
,----[ Quote ]
| I really don’t get it how people can continue pirating proprietary software
| like some Adobe products (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) when there are
| quality, Free Software alternatives like the Gimp or Inkscape.
|
| Sure, Gimp currently lacks some features you need for professional printing
| like CMYK, but that doesn’t disqualify for the use in non- or
| semi-professional environments, at home. You can even use Photoshop brushes
| in Gimp, so you won’t miss those. Good resources for Photoshop brushes are
| Qbrushes and DeviantArt.

New GIMP 2.6 Gives Photoshop a Run for Its Money
,----[ Quote ]
| GIMP 2.6 doesn’t move to a single unified window, as Photoshop has done, but
| it does now feature an “empty image window’ which acts as a container for all
| your open images. That means that closing an image no longer closes the app
| and it also means there’s drag-and-drop support for opening images.

5 GIMP Tricks Everyone Should Know!
,----[ Quote ]
| Having used both GIMP and Adobe Photoshop I must say I personally believe
| GIMP is much better for common folks like you and me who need a relatively
| simpler set of tools to make quick edits to our Vacation pictures. Photoshop
| is undoubtedly more useful graphic designers, however for making quick
| tweaks, nothing beats GIMP. Recently GIMP 2.6 was released, so I decided to
| make this tutorial for those who still haven't discovered the magic of GIMP
| and don't know how to use GIMP productively.

GIMP User Filter allows use of Photoshop filters
,----[ Quote ]
| One brake on the GIMP's popularity is that, while it boasts dozens of
| filters, a rival like Photoshop boasts thousands. You may only occasionally
| need a special effect that imitates a pencil sketch or a famous style of
| painting such as Impressionism or Cubism, but, when you do, having a filter
| to create the effect instantly saves serious amount of time. To help bridge
| this divide, the GIMP is reviving the User Filter from its 1.x releases. This
| filter is a kind of meta-plugin that allows users to import and manage
| Photoship filters or, if they have the knowledge, to write their own.

Gimp vs. Photoshop
,----[ Quote ]
| The truth is, they're both winners when they're used in the proper
| context. The Gimp just doesn't have support in the areas that are
| necessary to make it useful in a commercial application. However,
| you cannot justify the price of Photoshop for personal use when the
| Gimp will do everything it can do outside of commercial printing. I
| know I've beat the horse to death, but unless you want to pirate
| software, there is no reason to use Photoshop if you're not producing
| a print publication ? use the Gimp.

GIMPshop - Linux Graphic Software

Gimp Tutorial - Fast Flaming Text
,----[ Quote ]
| There's a few flame effect tutorials out there, but all the ones I've found
| are either badly outdated or too fiddly. This is how I set any object -
| including text - ablaze with the Gimp, in just six quick steps.
|
| Done with Gimp 2.2.13, which I'll keep using for tutorials until more Linux
| distros start including 2.4 by default. If you've soldiered on to 2.4, the
| menus will be all switched around, but the effects should all still be there
| somewhere. Click images to get full-size shot.

Top 40+ GIMP plugins
