gimp is a really great app. Rhythm & Hues has done some really abfab development on it. We (digital domain) can batch gimp "renders" on our renderfarm. Can't say that about p'shop, thats for sure. A lot of real vfx work needs lots of specialized apps (often in-house). You need to put a lot of money into it whether you're buying, or developing. You're dreaming of all-in-one apps, when by definition things get specialized. It'd be great if there was oss renderfarms available. Or a compositing package, or what have you. They don't exist, and anything that will come into being in the oss world, will probably not be up to par for anyone doing feature work. What we are celebrating is the fact that such apps can be easily developed, and deployed on linux. -n --
