Do you know anyone that uses Photoshop on Windows? All the designers I know (myself included) would always use Mac OS (given the choice). Having worked in software, hardware, networking, AND graphic design/layout for many years, I would like to ask one question of those of you who've submitted posts comparing gimp on linux with Photoshop on Windows.
#XFREE IMAGESIZE SOFTWARE#
It is not clear how the patent holders will interpret these requirements for open-source implementations that want to use a GPL license (as for Gimp) which requires the whole software to be modifiablefor any purpose, potentially in ways which could violate the conformance requirements. 3) To indicate integrity (images that are not allowed to be edited).Identify the image, source or owner in a secure way that cannot be removed by unauthorised parties. One such requirement of conforming implementations is to have copy control implemented including methods
Another important issue (stated here ) is that the royalty-free fee-free JPEG2000 patent licenses may apply only to conforming implementations. So don't expect any projects either to implement JPEG2000 yet or to be able to get JPEG2000 patent licenses (see below) to do so yet.Ģ. "anyone implementing software according to the description available in this FCD, risks not being compliant with the final JPEG2000 International Standard (IS), which is due to be published some time in 2001 as IS15444-1.To quote the Final CD from the official JPEG2000 website, It's too early to criticise The Gimp for not supporting JPEG2000 because the JPEG2000 image standard has not been finalised. Every other graphics editor does this without being told.why not the Gimp?ġ. eps, that it can't do it because the output format doesn't support some feature of internal representation is merely ludicrous: if I want it saved as PostScript, I want it saved as PostScript, please, and I want the software to immediately undertake whatever flattening or conversion is necessary to perform this simple task. To be told, when trying to do something simple like save the file as. The user interface paradigm is the one remaining problem with what is otherwise an excellent program, but it's a big problem, and remains unaddressed by the authors for reasons I have never seen explained. I'm sure there is some arcane reason connected with layers or channels, but the principle that software should not stand in the user's way seems to have been forgotten here. Take a simple screenshot and try to save it as a GIF - you can't, GIF is grayed out of the filetype selection dropdown. I don't mind the technology level - my needs are modest - but the crapulous interface restrictions still place the Gimp well behind Win* equivalents like Paintshop Pro, alas.
