Gimp Hits 2.0
jf writes "Gimp 2.0 released! From gimp.org: "This release is a major event, marking the end of a three year development cycle by a group of volunteers and enthusiasts who have made this the most professional release of the GIMP ever. It is the first stable release that is officially supported not only on Unix-based operating systems, but also on Microsoft Windows and Macintosh OS X." Get it from ftp.gimp.org or from the mirror sites."
Now maybe I can figure out how to use the thing.
Is that on K-tel records?
Do I get one free if I order Mr. Microphone?

They finally introduced 16 colors and three new brush sizes!!!
I had a dream that I woke up surrounded by windows floating around before my eyes. I knew what I wanted was in one of the windows -answer just on the tip of my tongue. As each window passed by, confusing icons flashed symbols -almost helping me figure it out.

Where's the nice little .zip with a setup.exe?
Right beside your colouring book and lunchbox!
I think your study may have had a flawed premise.
I mean, after all, anyone who can figure Photoshop out can probably figure out any other program in existence.
(Yeah, this is a backwards way of saying that I think Photoshop has always been the least intuitive program I've ever used, somehow managing to beat the various old DOS CAD/CAM software for that title.)
The party of stupid and the party of evil get together and do something both stupid and evil, then call it bipartisan.
The Gimp? Photoshop? Automation of tasks? Bah.
REAL nerds use a hex editor. Using a Dvorak keyboard!
If my answers frighten you, stop asking scary questions.
This piece of crap crashes on Windows for no reason
;-)
Tried it, blew it off. Highly unrecommended.
Yeah, Windows has that tendency. Glad to see you've decided to switch to another OS.
"Tell me doctor, with all of your defenses, are there any provisions for an attack by killer bees?"
First the Windows source gets leaked, and now all of a sudden every major OSS project suddenly supports the platform.
What a coincidence.
Photoshop still rocks it
No doubt to mask the pronounced adam's apple and large knuckles that didn't seem nearly as apparent when s/he approached after the third beer.
BullShit Authority?
... is the gimp.org server at the moment. ;-)
Forget thrust, drag, lift and weight. Airplanes fly because of money.
I have read your post about three times, and what you are saying makes no sense.
There's a snide remark about "MCSE" to be had here, but I'm not going to touch it.
I'm glad that this release improves the accessability to normal enthusiasts. A person pointed me to the Gimp once about half a year ago, and I couldn't stand to use it because of the god-awful interface that I encountered. I'll definitely give it a try.
I think the interface is teriffic! It's so intuitive and easier for every-day use than have some omnipotent menu bar at the top of the screen.
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
Good point... What would you recomend? Perhaps an icon of a few beers to represent blur?

Yes. So obscure that there are Linux commercials on TV, penguins all over the place, and groups all over the country dedicated to promoting Linux.
Oh wait... you said Lunix. Never heard of that...
Well I doubt they're going to come out with a stable one for win32.
