I should try GIMP again one of these days. I haven't used it for several years. Photoshop has been good to me, but it's rather bloated. GIMP was a little lighter and faster.

I would have used GIMP if I had heard about it before I started learning photoshop. I had invested heavily in buying the software and learning how to use it, therefore, never considered using this Open Source Image Manipulation software.
