Has anyone tried GIMP?

More specific but intersting.
Their calibration gear is remarkably cheap, last one I used was near 1500.

Thanks for all the feedback.

I think I'll install it and fool around with it for a while. So far, the biggest negative feedback I've heard here is the UI takes some getting used to, and it chokes on big files. Most of my files are about 1MB when compressed, and a couple MB when opened. Hopefully it will work well with those.

Thanks again!

Well, I though I would let you all know that I downloaded the GIMP. It's pretty good. It can do just about everything my older version of Photoshop 3.0 can do, In fact, I haven't found anything it can't do.

I've been using it for an hour or two a day for the last few days. I'm still having trouble finding my way around it, but everything works well once I do find what I'm looking for. The price can't be beat. $0.00 is very appealling to me.

Thanks again for all your comments.
