IMAGE EDITING: Comparing Photoshop with Gimp

GIMP BACKGROUND GNU (" ɡ nu) Image Manipulation Program Available for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux Originally developed by students at UC Berkeley. Currently maintained by the GNOME Project Often compared to / reviewed against Photoshop

DISCLAIMER Gimp screenshots in this presentation were created with the Mac iteration of Gimp. Photoshop screenshots were created with Adobe PS CS3 running on Windows Vista. Some differences in interface design might be due to comparing software on two different operating systems.

Workspace

TOOL PALLET Many of the tools in the Gimp pallet are similar to Photoshop's. Photoshop Gimp

CROP TOOL

CURVES TOOL Photoshop Gimp

CONTROLLING HUE AND SATURATION Photoshop Gimp

IMAGE MENU PhotoshopGimp

LAYER MENU Gimp Photoshop

TOOLS MENU Gimp only, but analogous to the Adjustments sub- menu in Photoshop.

FILTERS MENU Gimp Photoshop write your own plug ins

VIEW MENU Gimp Photoshop

WINDOWS MENU Gimp Photoshop

BUG!!!

GIMP ADVANTAGES 1. Cost 2. Familiar environment for Photoshop users 3. Familiar functionality for Photoshop users

CRITICISM Gimp's interface: -too many windows / dialog boxes -boxes can get stuck behind other open applications. Gimp's functionality: -no CMYK -no color management (e.g. ICC) -lacks support for RAW images

GIMP IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF......you answer "yes" to any of the following questions. You want more functionality than what comes with Photoshop Elements Do you want to learn and practice basic/intermediate image editing techniques at home without paying for Photoshop CS[#]? Are you a casual user? Are you interested in open source software development? Are you a law abiding cheapskate in general?

GIMP IS WRONG FOR YOU IF......You answer "yes" to any of the following questions. Are you an imaging/graphics professional? AND do you NOT want to tinker with software Do you wish to be? AND can you afford the Photoshop license?

Word Processing: Comparing MS Office Google Docs OpenOffice

Offers: Word Processor Spreadsheet Maker Presentation Design Database Managment Vector Graphics Editor Math Tool Saves by default in OpenDocument Formats (ODF) Supported by MS Office 2007 SP2 Plug ins are available to support ODF in earlier versions of MS Office OpenOffice can export to other formats.

Inserting notes in OpenOffice...

... Become comments in Word...but "track changes" edits are saved and converted as if accepted.

Open Office Spell check: not good

What about Google docs? Free, but not open source. (Though permission to use, copy, modify and distribute this software and database and its documentation for any purpose.) This presentation was composed on Google docs. Presentation can be exported to Powerpoint or PDF.

Google Docs Offers: Word Processor Spreadsheet Maker Form Maker Presentation Design Exports to pdf, ppt, doc, odf, html, rtf, txt

Google Docs Some loss of formatting in (low frill) presentations Major loss of formatting when uploading a Word document to Google Docs Requires a Google account
