at CGTalk and other forum gallerys they just about always name Photoshop, but ya never know what they used Photoshop for. and there will probably be zBrush & or Mudbox. and ya don't know what they used them for.

today loaded a .tif displacment map in gimp.
a warning pop up about gimp would cut the bits in 1/2 to 16 bit ,not good.
but in folder properties still says it's 32 bit.
some how I just always have probleams texturing.
so I'm looking for anything and everything that can help.

been using gimp to make spotlight textures for zBrush.
So have not needed photoshop.
but since Photoshop has a rep of being the baddest texturing app ever made.
would have thought they had a lot more to offer.

zBrush is killer .
Still looking around for other killer texturing app's.
That's idiot proof ,need all the help I can get. :)

Thanks
