Subject: RE: Tech: Help please from Photoshop users
Just a comment to those who advised use on software, rather than Ed's immediate need to get something produced quickly rather than to download software and see if it would work.... GIMP seemed to me to be quite good when I tried it under Linux. I've never tried the Windows version and have little experience with Photoshop4 but found that once I'd worked out the way, anything I wanted in that (admittedly PS was on 6 by then) commercial Adobe package could be done with GIMP. If I remember right, it took a little time to think of thier ways of thinking in terms of menus - rather different to a typical Windows program.

I'd be interested if anyone with good Photoshop experince (rather than me who has just played with it and is pretty poor on anything graphic) could give any feedback and GIMP. I thought it was quite capable once you had worked out the menus but could be missing a lot.
