Thanks for the link.  It looks promising.  Bookmarked it for later read.

I use and like Gimp.  But PS is still better but too costly and the cost 
goes on and on and on with each upgrade.  Then you got the copy 
protection crap like Microsoft.  The biggest issue with Gimp as well as 
Linux in general is printing.  The print mfg (I keep speaking with them) 
claim there is not demand for Linux and the Techs do tell me that even 
though they are familiar with Linux ( some even use it from time to 
time) very few if any calls request or complain about the lack of Linux 
drivers.  That makes it even more difficult for Gimp to sup****t Linux 
printers and their associated profiles for producing good photos.  That 
is why Windows keeps hanging around on Linux computers where the user 
would love to dump Windows and NTFS.

Scanning is not too far behind in printing along with Mouse software and 
other pieces of hardware.
