Favorite graphic editor?

[James G.]

Which graphics programs do you use to get work done? As a Linux user, I relied on GIMP pretty much exclusively; now that I'm over on the Mac side, I've found I really like Acorn. It offers just enough features in curated places, and then gets out of the way so that I can use them. There are probably a few things I can't do that I might find interesting, like use 1-bit Mac patterns, but it's good enough that I went ahead and got the license for it.

I use GIMP, as you'd probably expect, but that's not necessarily for the love of it. I'm comfortable enough with most of what I need it for, but it came more-or-less pre-installed on my machine.

I actually don't know what Mint uses for the purpose, if it has anything at all.

I think GIMP is the standard on Linux desktops, although some use Krita. I don't think there are really any great alternatives to those for raster editing, or at least, I never saw any.

I'm still good with Photoshop! I guess maybe it's a little expensive now , but you can probably get an old one cheap on eBay. I just saw Photoshop 5 is up for sale there at about $16.

I'm periodically tempted to get a new (well, new to me) copy of classic Photoshop. I'm just not sure I want to spend all my time with a graphic editor in an emulator, and then having to swap files from it to the main platform.
