which is the best one for gif images/animations

 

thanks in advance

GIMP is basically like photoshop in it's goals, although it's lacking in some of the finer tools. Inkscape is along the lines of illustrator. I usually use GIMP for most of my image creation/manipulation, and although I know it can do GIF animations I've never tried to do it.

you can always try gimpshop which makes the layout of the controls and such more photoshoppy...

Question - is this a little patch on top of Gimp, or is it (as that link suggests) a fork? Which would mean, a whole new application to be installed instead of Gimp? And is the only way to get it via some rpm.torrent, or is there a more official source, like urpmi?

 

I saw this mentioned recently by some new linux distro, but assumed it was just a typo!

They patch gimp to change the interface layout, it doesn't change the actual function of the program. It's more of an interface fork and not a function fork...but I still wouldn't classify it as a fork, as it simply:

modifies the menu structure to more closely resemble Photoshop and adjusts the program's terminology to match Adobe's.
Usually when you think of "fork" there's added functionality or a change in direction...not just a menu structure change. And, when it first came out, it was just a patch.
