My first attempt at using "Gimpshop" a free photoshop alternative. It's not love, but right now I'll take what I can get.

A couple months ago my Photoshop CS crashed for no apparent reason. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I took it to a professional. Nothing. And of course Adobe doesn't offer support for old versions of their product. It looks like I'll have to break down and buy a new copy, but for the time being I'm trying this out.

      Thanks Linda!

      Yeah, I'm breaking down and buying Photoshop CS6 though. I hate that Adobe discontinues support for their own products...but I also can't live without their products so...

    Sorry to hear your troubles. I'm sure with some continued practice you ca perfect the use of GIMPshop no?

      Probably I could, but I work with photoshop every day at my job, so it would cause a bit of frustration. In any case, I've already forked over my money. Now I just need to figure out how to uninstall my old adobe software so I can install the new stuff. For some reason my computer is being persnickety about this.

    This looks great! You could definitely get away with using the alternative for a while. I've been meaning to look into GIMPshop for when I post Photoshop tutorials.

    Thanks Mandy! Yeah, I went for a couple months without remembering that there was such a thing as Gimp and then it suddenly dawned on me that people use this and probably so could I.
