To be honest, I use the GIMP quite a bit and have never found it lacking, but I have never done an in depth analysis comparing the two. Anyone know the pros/cons of The GIMP vs. Photoshop?

I have not used GIMP (only Photoshop).  Here are a couple web sites that are comparing the two that might give you some insight:

According to those articles the Gimp did quite well. One comment did mention that Gimp didn't have as much color depth options - anyone know where that would come into play?

Thanks for starter topic here Mike and John for the links.  Not sure about the color depth stuff.  I use 16bit sRGB for all my work.

My question is which did you use for the graphics on your website, GIMP or Photoshop?

I think that the main thing to consider with GIMP and PS is that the other one is free and the other one comes with a hefty price tag.

Well, that would be the make-or-break kind of thing for some but if you are looking to get serious with it, I would likely consider getting PS because it is just easier over their side.

You could argue that I just got used to it, but that is the point, getting used to it so that things would appear to be much easier now.
