Photoshop CS3 Costs $699 | Extended Version Costs $999.

GIMP Costs $0 + monthly internet bill, MAYBE.

Doing the same things in GIMP that you do in PHOTOSHOP = priceless.

Many people bypass the ol' price tag.

I dont think GIMP can do everything PS can, and the UI of GIMP is wierd...to me anyways. Plus GIMP only does 8bits/channel right now.

If you modify your GIMP, you can make it better than PS tongue.gif And besides you can add PS things into GIMP if you want to.

Meh, I'd have to say that GIMP still can't compare to PS, at least in the regards I use it. I do a ton of work with digital photography, both my own stuff and studio shooting for school projects and stuff, and PS is unsurpassed at handling photographs. Besides, I got a fully legit, fully equipped CS2 for about $190 through educational licensing ($170 without additional fees) so it was a good deal. Besides, I'm all about streamlined interfacing, so again PS wins.

But it's really more a matter of what you want to do with the program and what you're comfortable with.

I have to agree about the price thing. Overall GIMP is better. Especially if you do mod it. (Its open source).

$700? Well maybe if thats what you do for a living. If I had 700 bucks to spend I'd put them into buying Maya Mod, then I'd be able to have a decent modelling program.

Most people don't buy photoshop. They just illegally download it tongue.gif (Not me though, a relative of mine gave me a copy of PS7). I know like 10 people who got PS for free

Even I had a bootleg for a while. Then I got that awesome educational licensing deal.

That's way too general of a question. PM me sometime and I'll send you some tutorials that'll get you started.
