[Sujal Shah]

Film Gimp doesn't do what Photoshop does.  And, (regular, not Film)=20
Gimp doesn't really compare to Photoshop in terms of total features. =20

one of the Disney Corporation networks... I have all sorts of ethical=20
questions running through my head about it, but actions like this make=20=

me feel a little better (in tiny ways).
