Image Editing

What to use

[David]

I have been using Fireworks for creating and optimizing my graphics. What should I be using with Linux. I keep hearing about gimp and before I dig into it, just wanted a little feed back.

Yeah gimp is really amazing. It is a little complicated, but you could do a lot with it.

Some tutorials:
[gimp.org...]
[empyrean.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu...]

You may also want to check out ImageMagick (freeware), it looks like it has many features.

[imagemagick.sourceforge.net...]

There's also high end commercial software for it (aka expensive) by Corel.

Thanks, It sounds like Gimp is the way to go. It does look like theres a pretty good learning curve , lots of pieces and parts .
