Now if only I can get a Linux version of Photoshop for her... --
Not having photoshop on Linux was the only reason I had to suffer such a long time under M$ W. As a professional photographer having a good digital photo workflow is quite essential...
Now I have a photoshop running (with crossover) - and I *never* use it anymore: digiKam and gimp are even more than a compensation for photoshop. All work that has to be done on the entire image is _much_ easier, faster and more comfortable in digiKam than in photoshop.
She's been using gimp - well, GIMPShop - for the past year and has been more-or-less satisfied. I haven't introduced her to digikam yet, though I've used it on occasion. I've been using Gwenview, too, in order to make pictures managable... http://www.perfectreign.com/pics/2006_florida/ ...nice way to make up web pages. I've also found ShowFoto to be a nice and easy app to use for my level of work. :) I did try to load her copy of Photoshop (8, I think) onto her system, but it bombs under CX Office. I do have her only other MS app, Publisher 98, loaded, and she uses that quite often. -- kai - www.perfectreign.com www.livebeans.com - the new NetBeans community 43...for those who require slightly more than the answer to life, the universe and everything.
