]]> Comment on Post Processing with the GIMP by Donncha O Caoimh http://mallowcameraclub.org/2008/02/05/post-processing-with-the-gimp/#comment-2640 Donncha O Caoimh Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:34:13 +0000 http://mallowcameraclub.com/2008/02/05/post-processing-with-the-gimp/#comment-2640 To my mind there only a few things missing in the GIMP that Photoshop has: 1. Adjustment layers, but the effect can be done with normal layers, mostly. 2. CMYK printing. I would argue for photographers that this is a non-issue. GIMP can output Jpeg file in RGB colour space. The latest version of GIMP has some support for RGB and CMYK colour spaces but I haven't really had to play with them. 3. LAB colour. 4. 16bit workspace. I only ever wish the GIMP supported 16bits internally when working on a graduated blue sky. There simply aren't enough shades of blue sometimes in an 8bit palette. There are efforts under way to make Photoshop plugins work in the GIMP but there are also lots of free GIMP plugins out there too. I think for 99% of amateurs or even if you do make money from your images, then GIMP will do the job fine. If you're only publishing online then you're doing yourself a disservice not checking it out. To my mind there only a few things missing in the GIMP that Photoshop has:

Is there any justification for buying Photoshop when you can get Gimp Free? How would you compare Open Source Gimp with Photoshop?
