I myself have never used either Photoshop.....only because it has seemed 
to me to be overly complicated, I've only recentl started to use GIMP 
and the more I dabble with it, the more I find it utterly indispensable 
for touching up graphics wnd the like. I would have to agree with 
you...it IS a great alternative...prices for software not withstanding!
