Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

My company provides GIMP to its employees. Turns out they care more about paying zero than a silly name.

We've opened the doors to Blender.

TBF, there's a pretty wide gap for professional art between PS and Gimp that go beyond knowing both interfaces. The actions, adjustment layers, hell down to just what happens when you paste a new layer. A lot of it, you CAN make Gimp do the same thing, but it takes many more steps and is often less precise.

I tried to see if I could convert my photographer wife over to it. Started learning her workflows, tried to translate it into Gimp. What she was doing was a LOT faster than I could sort and that's if i spent shit tons of time bridging the gap with python
