hi, i did some quick tests with photoshop cs4 vs gimp 2.6
I have 4 pictures. 2 big ones which i made smaller, two small ones which i made larger.
Each task with each program.
As you can see, the bigger images which i made smaller look WAY better and WAY more like the original picture when done with PS. I dont see any real difference when making small pictures bigger. Did i do something wrong in gimp or is photoshop cs4 already way better at such simple tasks?
thanks

so u have for example:
"60Voda_gimp.JPG"
"60Voda_ps.JPG"
watch them both in fullscreen and press the arrow keys left-right while watching the "subaru" symbol on the car. on the gimp image it looks rly bad.
even more visible on the:
"Subaru_WRC_-_New_Zealand_2008_144628_20081014_gimp.jpg"
"Subaru_WRC_-_New_Zealand_2008_144628_20081014_ps.jpg"
but on that image gimp also said smth about that it has to convert from "adobe rgb" into something else.. that might explain the rly big quality loss and the totally different colours.
But on the "60Voda_gimp.jpg" there is a big loss in details ?
i used "linear" or "kubisch" in gimp.. both the same.. in ps4 i used the one where it says "best for reduction"
and the original images are in the folder "tester" and are all .jpg´s
e:but yes ps is better :)
Colors seems to be the same, imho ps could have added a little contrast mask to sharpen image and get a better contrast, but I' ve never used Ps, and I think you can have the same results as ps, working a little more harder with gimp.
And yes what Panda says it's right.
the original pictures (i guess u saw that already) are in "tester".

If you try to convert it, colors get a red dominant,while green and blu got lowerd,and brightness and contrast got fucked up as well, so I think that's the problem.
Just my opinion. :)

no need for converting and still looks very bad :/ also why doesnt gimp support these colours.. it means i cannot edit such .jpg´s properly with gimp?
Also notice that GIMP is free and is not intended to be a replacement for Photoshop.
But I'm happy using cs5 in linux which works perfect <333
well i hat it that i have like 50 connections active from "activate.adobe.com" ... trying to connect trough 50 different ports all the time. So thats why i wanted to get rid of photoshop and get GIMP.. but already at such simple tasks like resizing pictures i notice a quality loss with gimp :S

Which blocks those!
If that wouldnt be , i would stick with photoshop :S i´m not a real photoshopper anyway.. and the basics i know about photoshop wont be hard to learn in gimp too.. but i think photoshop has way more features than gimp. tho i wouldnt need 80% of them anyway :P
Only stuff I do in photoshop is for my photographs anyway, I'm still learning the program after years of using it but it's nice to have some of the new feats in cs5 etc! :>

and yes u will block it from opening connections outside but instead of really blocking it, you redirect it. you redirect the connection to your own pc. So your comptuer is opening connections all the time to your own computer.
Not that big of a deal for me anyway, program runs fine + no hassle with my copy :D
Only adobe programs I have @ programs and features = Audtion, Flash, Photoshop cs5, Reader =]

obvious question but did you reboot pc btw? :P
Or if you want something more.. recent, get CS2 or something. I bet they don't even actually add anything in those new versions, just make them more bloaty and such.
