Hi everyone,

This is the first time I've ever written in this forum, and I have a question about something, please.

I find myself in need of making some detailed textures. A friend recommended tutorials on a couple of websites to help me out. Those websites have what I need, but all the instructions are written to be used in Photoshop. I usually use Paint Shop Pro 6, but I'd like to learn to use photoshop since about 99% of 2D graphics information is written fo the Photoshop user.

I looked at the Adobe website, and quite frankly Photoshop is too rich for my blood at the moment -  I could afford it now, but my wife would be none-too-happy if I went ahead and bought it.

So it is in the spirit of matrimonial harmony that I ask this; a lot of websites that I researched, recommended using Gimp (since it's free) as an alternative to Photoshop, so I must ask, is Gimp really that similar? I'd love to get an actual copy of Photoshop but it's just not gonna happen right now. So are any instructions written for Photoshop compatible with Gimp?

Thanks,

Steve
