Raging on GIMP

[quote=Sk1llbug]So I felt like doing a really good, in-depth, quality LeBlanc signature. I was planning to be sitting and doing it for the whole evening, or at least a couple of hours. Tried some new techniques, messin' around like never before. Then suddently the whole program [i]crashes[/i]. And I didn't save it. I had like 15 layers going on, and I was about 1,5 hours into it, and I raged like hell! My mom walked in and asked why I was making so much noise, and I just yelled back at her :< So, my question for you is: Does Photoshop ever crash?[/quote]

[quote=KingCasanova]All programs can crash. (: personally GIMP never crashed for me.[/quote]

[quote=Zesty]And that's why you save, constantly. Worst that happened to me was writing a final essay to have Microsoft Word, of all programs, crash on me. 3 hours of writing, gone. Thankfully, they let me re-write it.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]GIMP is about a BILLION times better then Photoshop. And even then it's not that great.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I've only had GIMP crash a few times and nearly all of them were while I was streaming it.[/quote]

[quote=Sk1llbug]I redid it using a Riven image instead, turned out to be much easier when I had made the whole thing another time before. Here is the final image in its fully: [img]http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9741/riven.png[/img] btw, tuts ftw :D[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]GIMP crashes as does everything else...PS has a built in save feature though. fyi...winrar is OP[/quote]

[quote=InFlames][quote=Nighthawk] GIMP is about a BILLION times better then Photoshop. And even then it's not that great. [/quote] I registered just to tell you how wrong you are, i've been using PS for almost 10 years now and it does not fail, it has never crashed on me. gimp is freeware for god sake how can it be better than photoshop[/quote]

[quote=xLearning2Playx]I would have to agree with InFlames, here. I personally have used PS since 5.x. I have tried GIMP and it's fine if you don't want to shell out the cash for Photoshop. Also, it's all a matter of taste. I prefer how Photoshop works and is laid out (which can be changed quite a bit, actually) better than what GIMP offers. Bottom Line: GIMP is open source. If you don't like it, change it. PS just works, period. Costs a pretty penny, but worth it to many. EDIT: Btw, absolutely love the sig, Sk1ll. My only complaint would be it looks a little, idk, bright? There's really not much contrast and it seems to all blend together in the light; particularly her head. If that's what you were going for, you hit it on the head. :)[/quote]

[quote=RubenDefo]If you want a good advice, Cmd+S all the time (if you use Mac), or....Control+S in Windows?? Make things much easier. Every time you are going to create a new layer, save. Specially if you´re going to use a text layer, or use the free transform tool, cause sometimes PS collapse with those tools cause they need heaps of RAM. Btw, Photoshop CS5 ftw.[/quote]
