Updated Testimonials

Hey everyone.

First of all, thanks to everyone who contributed to this awesome project.

I am a director of a company that is heavily graphics based. My partner in the company is a dedicated Apple/Mac/Adobe stereotypical designer.

I know for a fact that GIMP is either on par or better than what his current setup is. Even 10 years ago this was the case.

However, I am absolutely unable to find recent testimonials/testimonies from professional designers who run their business.

I'm specifically looking for someone who deals with print media. The common crap that I find out there on the internet is 'GIMP is fine for non print, but Adobe is the only reliable software for print'. This is a generalized statement but you get my point.

I would love to convince him to drop his adobe suite and save our company money and benefit the world at the same time, but I cannot even approach him because as soon as he does a search he's going to find this garbage on the net.

Is there someone on this list, or multiple people who could update this section of the website:

http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/13635-testimony

and

http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/1896-testimonials-of-gimp-usage-by-professionals

Testimonials are absolutely the most important thing to move this project quickly forward. I know we are at the cutting edge.

Thanks so much!!

Sincerely,

Wayne

Hi Wayne!

The website www.gimpusers.com is not actually managed or run by the GIMP project. As such we don't really have a way to edit those pages. :(

We can modify our own website at www.gimp.org, but I don't currently have any testimonials to post there. I will defer to those that know better than I where to possibly find some testimonials from businesses that would help bolster your case when speaking to your partner.

As Pat already mentioned, we have no control over 3rd party websites like gimpusers.com, but having the kind of content you are looking for on gimp.org is something we would benefit from. Although I have to say I'm in the "showcase" camp rather than in the "testimonial" camp.

Now, as for the print media specifically, I probably know just a few people who have hands-on experience with GIMP there, since that use case is not GIMP's forte so far. moreover, making GIMP marginally capable to be usable for the print media involves installing a 3rd party plugin, which doesn't make it all easier to promote GIMP as a tool for the desktop publishing crowd :)

Thanks Pat.

This is critical for the project. I know for sure there are some people out there who have made the wholesale switch from Adobe and we need those public...

Thanks for the help and response!
