I just got the Gimp-2.0 and am way impressed. I'm not a very good designer, but I love the changes to the interface and it looks really neat.

 

So what are your favourite changes to the Gimp? Any tips for new features in 2?

 

I think I might just be able to make something that looks good with this one! :thumbs:

Mostly some tools like the extract tool who kick very well.

 

layer blending options like overlay and bevel (you have to do it manually in gimp).

 

layer grouping (groups layers in on virtual folder)

 

shapes support.

 

 

hope one day gimp will have support for all thoses little but usefull things.

no you don't...when you have a layer you want an effect on, just go into the layer viewer, choose the layer you want, and select from the "Mode" drop down at the top...

 

or do you consider that doing it manually? (i've never worked w/photoshop, can't compare..)

I like it...it doesn't compare yet with photoshop but...woah..it's near it :P

What does photoshop have that gimp not?

 

I mostly like the gimp because of the hebrew support..

easyness of use ;)

and some fonctions that are better....

GIMP is just as easy to use as PS.

 

The way ive found it works is

 

If you have used PS a reasonable amount, you find GIMP unbearable most of the time or just cant use it

 

And vice versa. I just can't use PS, i just cant, no matter how hard i try, i go back to GIMP straight away. I

 

I have been using it through the betas and pre's and its been great
