And to answer your second question wata, Sindwiller could now reply

Irfanview - http://%7boption%7d

Free 1MB or so image viewer,

If its just resizing and changing DPIs and saving files, it has batch conversion so you can select a folder of high resolution images and you can set your parameters - resolution, dpi, format, compression level, output folder and it'll convert it. Its been my image viewer for a very long time. Feature packed and small, close to 0 startup time.

I heard Gimp can do anything Photoshop can. And thats a lot. Never tried it though. But its free so if i didnt haf Photoshop i sure would try it out.

You can do almost everything with GIMP, what you can do with PS. Almost. Just that alot of stuff in GIMP reacts different than in PS or is placed at a different place. And there's also stuff that PS can't do, but GIMP can (for example, PS hasn't a advanced scripting language).

CS3 of Photoshop has an really advanced script-language and you can also create plugins for older photoshop versions, it is just a little more complex

Gimp is something I would not recommend. Go with IrfanView, it is simple, can handle nearly every fileformat out there (witht the pluginspackage (<1mb)) and the only thing is that the jpeg compression is only upto level 10 (equivalent to photoshop but ps offers a compression format 11 and 12) - which may be visible on plain text sometimes. Gimp is just to overpacked without a really thinking of what the user needs. it trys to immitate photoshop tools but what helps a bunch of 200 tools if you can not control them correctly or don't even find half of them...

It doesn't imitate photoshop. In fact, GIMP's GUI is more reasoned then PS' GUI imho.

Yeah but that's probably just because you're used to it.

I guess my only suggestion wouldn't fit here..

In fact, you're right But who cares about that when he never used PS before

In fact I tried out Photoshop and Gimp though Photoshop was a bit of one or two weeks until i was in and could make some good looking stuff while until today every thing i do with gimp looks like soapcreamed mustard with jelly sauce and tbh - most of the work i see around the net which is done with gimp doesn't look any better.

used ps for a while, found it a bit confusing, switched to gimp. gimp is awesome. if you need vector-drawing, use inkscape. also awesome.

So having used both Gimp and Photoshop, I would have to say Photoshop is far better and there are a couple reasons why. Mainly I think Photoshop makes better use of screen space. I think that you can do a whole lot more from the basic screen setup then you can for gimp. Secondly keyboard shortcuts Gimp like barley uses them for anything where as Photoshop has a good base set setup from the start. I think that it makes life much easier from the start. I also think that the general support Photoshop is much better then gimp. When I use gimp it feels like I am using an application made by a three year old, when I use Photoshop it feels as if I am using a polished application. Then again maybe that’s the issue with open source application... They never feel polished.
