I picked a pepper

I still can’t remember what I was going to write about. It is seriously driving me insane.

I was thinking today, how I grudgingly use photoshop. It’s the only thing I know but I would love to use The Gimp instead. Photoshop is overpriced, we all know this, The Gimp however is completely free and it’s powerful as well but the only OS where it really fits in is Linux and that isn’t any good at all. If there was a good mac version of it I would toss that overpriced photoshop garbage out of the window immediately. Ebay won’t know what’s hit it. As any mac user will testify running a large scale app via X is rather like driving a clapped out 2CV through the streets of beverly hills, it just doesn’t fit in somehow. It’s especially trying having to adjust your eyes to the file dialog when all other mac apps have their own specific flavour. When I looked at native cocoa/carbon ports of the gimp the first few I stumbled across all insultingly required cash! Pah, the closest I’ve come across is Seashore, which, when I first fired it up looked damn perfect! My excitement quickly dissolved however when I discovered that they have only ported a tiny subset of the gimps features. In seashore they have only managed to recreate MS Paint. Heck, do you know what would make my day? No my year! It’s if Apple decided to do with The Gimp what they did with Konquerer. Now that would be amazing. Come on apple! How hard would it be??
