I first used GIMP about ten years ago, though it wasn't until about seven years ago that I would use it for more than just resizing and adding text, delving into modifying the code to suit my own preferences (at the time I wanted a 1-column toolbox). A couple years after that I actually submitted my first "patch" to the GIMP developers -- it didn't add any code, merely removed a few lines so that one-layer merges would be allowed. I'd like to contribute more to GIMP's evolution, but the developers tend to introduce new tricks faster than this old dog can learn them.

I do not do much creative work with GIMP, but still it is one of my favorite "toys" to play with; and nothing beats it for doing graphics tasks that are more directly work oriented.

About 7 years now.I started out using Dog-Waffle..which i still have, anybody remember that graphics editor?
Dog-waffle really never got any better (plus it wasn't free anymore), while GIMP became phenomenal.
So many talented coders working for free to establish in my opinion the best graphics manipulation, and creation program on Earth.If there is something you need done to a graphic, just ask for a script or plug-in, and it wont be long before its written.I still cannot believe people actually pay that much money for PS when GIMP can do anything PS can do.

I believe GIMP artists, and graphic designers CAN do anything in GIMP that Photo-Shop can create.
There are so many PS tuts GIMP can mimic.I've yet to see something done in PS GIMP cannot do.
(other than 16bit)


GIMP is awesome!

I'm not entirely sure, but I can see that my first entry in DPChallenge, Peeling Blue, has the comment in it "Created with the GIMP by kevin", so I've been using Gimp from at least 2002.

About 3 years now, if I am to believe the release date of the first version I ever used. In the beginning just occasionally. Been using it regularly for about a year and a half now. Maybe a bit less.

About 3 years ago, right before I sent Corel an unpleasant Email

I've been using Gimp so long, I think I was using the first released version for Windows. Easily well over 10 years. I have tutorials and scripts available on other sites. I'll have to set them up here.

In 2004, I started dual booting Linux from a 2nd hard drive on my PC, with XP on the main drive. That was when I began using GIMP as a replacement for Paint Shop Pro.

Took me about a year to ween off of XP and move to completely to Linux on my main system box. I still dual boot XP and Linux on my laptop and I still use Adobe Audition in XP on my layla based multi-track digital recording system (record 8 tracks of 32bit PCM simultaneously). :cool

I installed GIMP 1.2 the other day, just to see what it was like. What a horrible interface! All the windows hardly fitted my screen and that was before I opened an image window. How did people do that with the smaller screens back then? Then the menu, you'd have to accidentally right click to discover it. I can see where the bad reputation came from.

Still was fun to play with it. :mrgreen:
