The Best Article Every day: "Image editing software has become ubiquitous in this digital age. Whether you’re creating a web interface or simply cropping and enhancing your family photos - you’ll need your favorite image editor to do it."
I wonder if photoshop really comes in first because it is the most known. It seems that perhaps the survey was done by non-professionals, so they know photoshop most. they could probably navigate it best cause its also been around the longest. However, they do note the pricetag.
I use GIMP fairly frequently, and find it pretty useful. I think ti shares a lot of photoshop's UI problems though, using cryptic names for buttons buried deep down in layers of pallets and toolbars. It's definitely way more high-powered than anything I ever do with it. What I really want is an open source, low-featured editor that is fast, simple and intuitive. The amount of functionality I need is pretty small, but I want it to be accessible.
