Problems moving over to Ubuntu
10th Apr 2006 14:04
For the most part my experiments with Linux have been very succesful, I've learnt a vast amount. Unfortunately, one of the things I've learnt is that I still need a Windows machine.
- I can't test web pages in IE
- GIMP does not support adjustment layers, shadow/highlight adjustment, or have an equivilent for the heal tool
Everything else works great, but as a photographer I fundamentally need some of those features currently missing from GIMP - I'm not afraid to learn new software, I really quite liked the GIMP interface, but it's a matter of essential features. And as a web developer I need to be able to test in Internet Explorer - not just Firefox.
I'm going to keep on looking for solutions to these for a while, but it's rather annoying to have to boot between two operating systems.
