I still like GIMP - I think I could probably do most things with iPiccy, but I'm used to "my" programme. I tended to do most of the basics on GIMP and then a few extra's with iPiccy. I did like their colour boost ... much less than GIMP does, so that's handy to know for some icons.

I don't tend to work out most of the debates and helpful contrasts that anyone does!!
