I'm looking to purchase a laptop to use exclusively for my photography. I am planning on loading SUSE 10 and using GIMP for all of my image collection and manipulation. Anyone using a laptop and Linux for this great program?
I do it all the time. Pretty much every photo on perfectreign has been touched up with GIMP on my laptop.
I have used both the Linux and Windows version on my desktop but I am hoping to keep the laptop stricly for image manipulation and web design.
I appreciate any help and suggestions.
My mom - a ten-year Photoshop addict - switched to GIMP last year. She found it frustrating until I loaded GIMPShop on her system last summer. http://freshmeat.net/projects/gimpshop/ GIMPShop is a re-write of GIMP using the Photoshop menu structure as much as possible. This helped her out in terms of getting used to the program, for which she's an expert now.
Thanks! Sincwill
I use it regularly on an HP ZD7260 with no problems at all.
I have an El Cheapo Dell Inspiron, which is used daily. I am also beginning to use JAlbum to put them together - http://jalbum.net/ - nice software. -- kai www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
