:Hands off the Gimp
Hands off the Gimp
Jul 4, 2009, 06 :40 UTC (25 Talkback[s]) (8920 reads)

"No offense to Rick Spencer but.. How reasonable is the rationale behind this ? That f-spot is enough ? Enough for what ? For laughing ?

"How do I scale an image in f-spot ? If there's a way, I have not been able to find it (same for red eyes). How do I annotate an image (putting text somewhere) ?

"Yet people ask --Gimp is cool but.. should it belong to LiveCD?-- I'll give you a better question: what should belong to the LiveCD ?

"Removing GIMP from the LiveCd fully defeats the showing off purpouse of the LiveCd and leaves you without any handy tool to perform even basic manipulation on images. Now, it can be just me, but I can't find anything useful in that regard inside Jaunty's f-spot."
