Photo retouching is usually done by print magazines. It stands to reason that they would use tools that are able to work with CMYK. As for the other things... Modern Photographic work also relies on a higher bit depth. Photoshop is able to process raw camera input as opposed to GIMP which has to first convert it to 8-bit before being able to work on the image. There are also various selection tools, color adjustment tools and retouching tools (such as the healing brush) that work better in Photoshop. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
