Gimp is loaded on EVERY linux computer at savannah college of art and desing .
i use it occasonally . but it is usless for HDR, 16 and 32 bit image editing . and it's cumbersom. it also dosn't have half the features that photoshop does .
automated phtotmerge .
raw image handling ,
not nearly enough filters .
and ther are other HDR and stiching softwares avalable for linux for free.
watch oh you pick on
i'm a VSFX artist . '
i run 2 linux boxes .
SUSE 9.3 and novel laptop.
I"m capable of useing my photoshop 7 on a port and installign it myself. but i would perfer the sability of it as a native app.
gimp is ok for quick useage.but it dosn't have near the depth that photoshop does.(i own licenses to v 7 and CS2)
as for as artists cant yadda yadda . thanks lump us all as dump.
tell it to pixar , or sideFX,
or digital domain
sure..
now lets loook at this from MY view .
sitting her in my bed room now we have all 3 majior OSes, ther is a happy littel iMAC running OSX, another happy iMAc i beleive currently booted inot umbuntu...
we have a dual boot lappy , thats win XP pro, and i think the other partion is a very small install of gentoo .
on typeing this on my novel lappy .
choose this distro because , it's light and the lappy is old .
now at school Savannah College of Art and Design.
we run a LINUX back bone .
with dual boot (PC)computers . CentOS, or winXP pro.
i have the perferance ot use the CentOS when i can
and 90% OF MY maya WORK is on that os.
the other 10% is done in windows because i need photoshop
now at home
i just downloaded houdini 8, aprentice RPM, i will be installign that probly tomarrow .
we are taught linux for VSFX.
and quite frankly from what i've seen most software really isn't that hard to install.
they come with step by step instrutions. hell even gentoo walks you through an install. '
unless you have 2 weeks and wish ot do linux from scratch it's not that bad.(joke at our lug is 3rd time is the charm...)
but just wished to chime in not all Artist are idiots .
I would like to remind you of LINUX leap into holly wood and how MANY of the newer breed of Visual Effects artist . need new tools
i for one use MAYA, Houdini and SHAKE on a linux platform and a good stable port of phototshop would do wonders when i need to texture something
remeber not all of us are programers first . i'm a visual artist first and programer when i need to be .
i cna peck out code.but dreamweaver would be a nice port for doing Daily pages . for production .
i've been asking adobe for 3 years now WHEN???
becuse i do OWN my licenses .
i'd also like to see a few other things .
for one google Earth.. shame on you google for not porting that yet.. it's to much fun...
but that is my 2 cents,from an Artists perspective.if we had a few more tools i'm fairly certain i'd beable ot move my last 2 pecies of software over and be done with ti .
right now i need mainly photoshop, then the rest of th eadobe editing line..
aftereffects i can do without as long as i have SHAKE, which by the way works better on a LINUX platform then it does in it's native MAC OS..sad actully considering ther cousins .
i'd like ot see AVID/ AVID exspress on linux.again a cousin as it already runs on BSD based OSX...
also protools .
industry stadard things make life easier.
another reason VSFX artist,would benifit is a LOT of our software we use now.(SHAKE and HOUDINI inperticualar) use UNIX file structure, and will intigrate easily with tereminal .
it's asier batch rendering from terminal , when you don't want to waste percious system resources.. but i degress.
give me photoshop so i can burry my windows box . i need ot free up some harddrive. i found a good emulator for the few games i play so give me photoshop so i can dump M$./rant

Hi I'm Mary been dating my geek for 7 months. It is not true they lose their ability to program or network or use Linux or Unix or what ever. Then again we are both geeks I'm Visual FX, so I use everything. Anyway.
For Valentines Day my suggestion is try something different. I know, it doesn't have to be geeky. But the guys like their toys.
I got my Carmagedon 2 off ebay. Because he has been playing the demo incessantly. But we do have plans for Valentines Day. That include other hobbies we both have such as trains and being very Irish. And, "ehmm" sex. Btw, try using heat sinks, there fun.
But basically get something nice off thinkgeek.com that's always good. Then get him steak. Guys like meat.
Or a nice G5.
I have no idea what your guy likes.
I know mine loves model kits, and any hardware he can get his hands on. And apparently he and a buddy have starts an OS collection.
He already collects Linux distros and different Unix versions, now that have moved to windows, and apple. And IBM.
Um I still think a bouquet of cables would be neat as a topper for a package guy do like flowers too even if they won't admit it. It's a nice gesture just make sure it bundled with some thing like a station time card from best buy ($36) or something.
USB memory sticks, or 6 format card readers. There is even one from newegg.com that has a floppy as part of it so he won't lose that bay.
Or a window kit. Led lights and Magnets. oh magnets are fun so are chemistry sets and dry ice and empty coke bottles.
Or some fun hacker book from Amazon. Like having fun while voiding your warranty
And in response to the rest of you,
I love my G33K T00.
this is truely disturbing..
if there going to sell themselves it should be for charity.
i will give them some credit,they found a way around the campain finance reform.
but at the same time this country has truely grossed me out .
i think half the reason we havn't had any good leadership in... well since before i was born . is were getting to comercial.
and beyond that, we really need to change the whole system , the united states is due for an overhaul!
it truly is an awasome little set up from both a RR lovers,and visual effect minature point of view.
would love to play with that on camera,great job and deatail.
