# New Image Challenge
Action Figures Across the Ages



You can buy an action figure of just about anyone these days, but pick someone deserving from history and immortalise them in an action-man kind of way.

# I never did History at school
we weren't allowed :(

You could do either Geography or History. Geography had the most boozy field trips so I went for that one. Oh how I regret that decision now.

# what are the main differences between 'the gimp'
and 'gimpshop'
(, Wed 25 Apr 2007, 22:43, archived)
# gimp v gimpshop
no functionality that i'm aware. of gimp has been around for ages, it's getting some nice features now, and theres some half measures for CMYK..

gimp shop is just a photoshop like interface to it as far as i know... which means that it will consume a whole screen rather than just part of it... check it out though mate, its free and snappy...

# meh
i'm too used to my old version of photoshop
(, Wed 25 Apr 2007, 22:48, archived)
# thats fine...
... providing you actually bought it :-)

i prefer the gimp since it's constantly evolving. photoshop holds back a bit since they want to have features that make the next version sought after.

# i didnt think there was one.
I thought gimpshop was a cool way of comparing Gimp to Photoshop. Ya know, kind of like comparing a chocolate mousse to a 'rotten apple'-scented runny dog turd.
