Hi,
can I use the GIMP in my company (as an substitute for Photoshop) for creating newspaper design? The newspaper is not free but daily sold. Does GPL allows it or must I purchase Photoshop?

Thanks,

Yep, guess he is right, you can use it like that. *However*... Despite being the single BEST open source program I have seen so far (has never crashed on my computer, NEVER!!); I have to addmit gimp is not very good when it comes to printing.... Well, at least that is my experience, correct me if I'm wrong. I thought I'd fire this up on this thread so that maybe more people would reply. :)

How are your printing experiences??? Last time I had to throw a lot of paper away trying to get things right and in the end I wasn't completely satisfied. Apparently using CMYK (meaning: not gimp) enabled software produces better results. Another issue I had was monitor calibration. Window$ (as far as I remember) has lots of tools like that, and I found none for the Linux/Gimp combo. Perhaps you can help me out here! And probably convince Michael to use Gimp instead of wasting $$. :D Thanks a lot,
by the way, and this I have to repeat, gimp IS the best software for linux I have found so far, congratulations to all the developers. Roberto.

Yes, you can.

The GPL clearly states that you can use GPLed programs anyway you like This includes using content generated by such a program anyway \you like.

This is just a non-issue. Go on.
