The developers of GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) have big hopes for the fledgling graphic design program. They’ve just released a new version of GIMP that many feel rivals the power of Adobe’s uber-popular Photoshop image editor.
GIMP Could be the New Photoshop - And It’s Free!
Adobe Announces Free Online Version of Photoshop - Photoshop Express
I don’t think it’s any great exaggeration to say that Adobe Photoshop is one of the most successful software products of all time. In fact, not only has Photoshop been a big seller for Adobe, in its own way it has also changed the way we think about digital images and videos. When we see an expertly re-touched and perfected photo or portrait, most of us immediately think “Photoshop.”

Adobe Creative Suite 3 (CS3) - A Staple For All Your Graphics Needs
The Creative Suite from Adobe has become a staple for all graphic artists and designers. It is the standard in most creative services offices and departments. Adobe recently released an update to their Creative Suite package with the latest CS3. One of the most anticipated announcements was which products would remain after the merger of Adobe and Macromedia. In the previous Creative Suite, Adobe provided both software products but the combination or elimination of some of these products was imminent. Overall, Creative Suite 3 is divided into three categories more specific to different industries: web, print and video post production. Adobe will offer the different version of standard and premium for each of these categories. In general, there isn’t anything revolutionary but Adobe made some adjustments to improve the current products, provide a uniform interface and better ability to jump between programs and use them all together.
The Right Graphics Card For Your Gaming Needs
With the ever present thought of Windows Vista and Directx10, many gamers will be looking to upgrade their graphics card within the next couple of years. However, there are so many available models and products out there that it is hard to decide between them. It really boils down to what you want to get out of your computer. It is no use springing for the best card out there if you aren’t going to use it to its full potential. Nevertheless it’s no use buying a cheap card when you are going to be running such games as Crysis or Alan Wake.
