Pixel: Photoshop for the Linux Crowd
Submitted by srlinuxx on Wed, 01/09/2008 - 15:15.
Linux users unhappy with the GIMP image editor may want to take a look at Pixel, a cross platform image editing application, which more closely mirrors the behavior of Adobe Photoshop.
Although Pixel isn't free in either sense of the word — a licensed copy will set you back $38 USD and the source is not available — in terms of ease-of-use Pixel trumps the Gimp on a number of levels.
Where the GIMP’s palettes are each separate application windows, Pixel opts for a unified interface similar to that of Photoshop, eliminating the confusion of palettes showing up in your taskbar or app switcher.
Pixel also shows evidence of a deeper concern with UI design than you’ll find in the GIMP, which, while functional, is nothing special to look at on any platform.

Not so expensive
$38 isn't exactly expensive. I would try this if it were sold boxed locally. In any case, I'm pretty satisfied at the moment with Gimp 2.4.3
