I prefer Gimp. You always risk geting a virus or spyware when you download pirated software from some random site.

Gimp is pretty easy to use.

I think some employers would care more about your ability to make quality graphics instead care about what software you use.

For example, if you design a website template for a company, the company will just care about how good it looks. I’m pretty sure the average Baker, locks smith, or auto mechanic who wants a website template for their website won’t care about what program you use as long as the template looks good, and is satisfying their expectations.

@meme: You failed miserably at reading what I wrote. The people want employees who can read. Think about that.

Having experience in GIMP won’t land you a professional design job, either. The people want designers with experience in ADOBE products. Think about that

[...] Adobe is the King, toch wat betreft grafische software. Maar waarom PhotoShop altijd maar pirateren als je ook gratis en voor niets gebruik kan maken van legale software? Toegegeven: de Gimp beschikt niet altijd over alle onderdelen, maar is méér dan voldoende voor de thuisgebruiker. [...]

if you have difficulties with GIMP ui then maybe you can consider to use GimPhoto for Linux (compatible with all Linux distro).

actually GimPhoto is GIMP 2.4 modification using new PS menu layout and PS shortcuts, packed with many great plugins, such as: CMYK separation, save for web, batch process, noise removal and photography filters, and also improved with new brushset, new gradientset, every aspect is tweaked to improve user usability.

If you must use a PS like interface google ‘Gimpshop’. It’s a fork of Gimp with a PS like interface. Good enough for me as occasional non-pro user.

please don’t use the term pirating or pirate in this case. That is very much a propaganda term used by proprietary software to blur the issues. If you are neutral on the subject please call it unauthorized copying. Other wise you are comparing people that share software to people that rape and pillage which is totally a skewed view of the situation. Other wise I totally agree that people that want to share their software should just use Free Software. That way you can do it without worries. If fact you are encouraged to share with others.

“The main and fatal issue with GIMP that it DOES NOT handle PSD format correctly so people simply have no chances to migrate to it.”
I have exactly opposite problem. I have been using Gimp for nearly 3 years at work, and when I need to do something in PS I get frustrated. I just cannot migrate from Gimp to PS. Though PS has one useful future for me: bash processing. As far as I’m concerned I look forward for such an option in Gimp.
