Why bother paying for photoshop or other expensive programs when this program is out there for free? This program works along the same lines as photoshop, though as an open-source program, it's far more customizable. What I find most attractive is the floating window screen set up.

Installtion was simple and bug-free. There are no surprises in this ...

The amount of boxes at start-up varies in slightly newer and slightly older versions. One box contains the usual tools, zoom, crop, resize image, perspectives, fill, draw, paintbrushes etc, another has a list of layers, colour channels and paths. An image will ...
