I am not a graphic artist. I have however been trying to make my website look better lately. One of the ways I've done that is by creating the 6 small badges that line the left side of the page now. I created these using GIMP. I must say that compared to the GIMP that I used years ago, which I found frustrating and lacking in many basic ways, the current version of GIMP is a very capable image editor. Today, I read GrimThing's take on it, Gimp vs. Photoshop, which affirms my layman's thoughts.

Go download yourself a copy of GIMP and quit stealing Photoshop!

Update: It turns out that one of GrimThing's complaints is already solved in the development version of GIMP: It now has CMYK support. Just a little more patience, Mr. McClure :)
