Corel PhotoPaint beats them all! - imho
I have both PP and PS. PP can do all that PS does and is a lot easier to use doing it. I know PS has the rep as being for professionals but the truth is there are a lot of professionals using PP. They just don't want to argue with the PS snobs.
I know, I'll probably get stomped for saying this but as long as its only on the web it won't hurt too much. I will start using GIMP when I have to totally quit using XP but I think that will still be a few years away. Who knows, by then GIMP may be what everyone says it should be.
"The Linux community would be greatly benefited by solid tutorials "
I totally agree! Although I have been using 7.10 for just a few months, it is still more of a learning experience than one where I feel comfortable starting a project. A project I have recently started on my xp box is going quite nicely because I was directed to a web site where there is a series of visual tutorials to guide me through the various steps of designing an attractive web site. Whenever I want to work on my project I can go the tutorials and get whatever help I need. Granted there is just as much need for more tutorials like this on windoze stuff, but the point is that taking the time and making the effort to provide visual tutorials will vastly increase the number of people willing to try Linux.
