$650 or $FREE

For me time is money, and $650 does not represent a huge amount of my time. I really do appreciate all of the posts on this thread! For me, the cost of learning GIMP is far more than $650 and the benefits are not very powerful. If there were something in GIMP that was a compelling feature that Photoshop lacked, then that would be another story.

I did not fully realize or consider, when I started this thread, how much the cost of learning GIMP might be, and also how much time I have already invested in become proficient with my current version of Photoshop.
