Hey,

Someone from the Scribus team showed me this video of a conference in Switzerland where there has also been a presentation of GIMP (apparently by an "Adobe certified PS trainer"!) and from what I have been told, they compare GIMP and Photoshop, and that was not shameful at all for GIMP, which came back with a pretty good image. Well that's what I've been told since my understanding of German is very lacking (as people who met me at LGM can attest), so I don't really understand what they say in the video. Below the exact description which was given to me:

« I recently attended a conference in Switzerland, where the organisers had set up a Mac with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, GIMP, Acrobat and Scribus installed. The monitor was one of those insanely expensive EIZO screens used in the high-end printing business. Once the operators had figured out that they had to disable the system colour management and instead completely rely on lcms2, which is used by GIMP, jaws were dropping: no difference in quality between GIMP and Photoshop! They had a similar experience with Acrobat and Scribus's PDF engine, btw ;)

Also interesting: The guy who presented GIMP at the conference was an Adobe-certified PS trainer. If you understand German, here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUvh8ExC80TFoJlGpYlb-JxQ&v=zDHVNNAH6rs&feature=player_detailpage »

Well I know many people speak German in this mailing list and the GIMP project in general. You may like this then. :-) Have fun!

P.S.: maybe this info has already been spread around since I'm usually the late one on the news. If so, sorry for posting old news.

Thanks for the link.

Don't feel bad for not understanding the german - it is actually Schwitzerdütsch (swiss german), which is quite different from the regular "high" german. In fact I have a hard time understanding more than a few isolated fragments...

Ahahah. I see. Well even regular German, I would have had a hard time anyway. ;-)

Bye,
