Hello everyone,
i have decided to take the step and leave Windows for good and use linux also in my professionial work as a graphics designer. As i understand it, GIMP is the software to replace my Photoshop that i am using under Win.
GIMP looks great and feels good, but when i open files with layers and change between them it always takes a while till the chosen layer has been built up. Since the layers are one of my most-used features this is a bit annoying. This occurs also under windows and also under very strong processing units.
Has anyone experience with this. Am i the only one who gets disturbed by this? Is GIMP simply that much slower than PS? I just don't think so. This held me away from professionally using LINUX and GIMP since 5 Years and now i decided to just ask. Maybe there can be something done about it.
My files are rather large (600dpi) and they must be since they are designed for offset-print. And the have a lot of layers. Up to 50 sometimes and more.
Okay, i hope there is no one annoyed by my question since i am really looking forward to use open-source as a profesional.
Greetings and thanks in advance
Heinrich
