[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1715427, member: 190607"] You didn't say what web site you went to that tried to foist commercial software on you, so I can't comment on that. I can tell you that open source software in general, and Gimp in particular, are definitely "legit". There may be sites that are using open source software as part of a scam to get you to purchase other software, so you have to be careful where you get your open source software. Gimp is a very powerful program that may indeed serve you as a replacement for Photoshop. Here is a very nice site that lists a bunch of the best open source software for the Macintosh, and the best places to get it: [url]http://opensourcemac.org/[/url] Here is where to get a copy of Gimp: Gimp (free) [url]http://www.gimp.org/downloads/[/url] [url]http://www.gimp.org/[/url] You can get Gimpshop (free) from here: [url]http://www.gimpshop.com/[/url] (both Gimp and Gimpshop are the same program, but Gimpshop has an interface more like Photoshop) [/QUOTE]
