That's too bad! Comparing the two, I've ended up using Gimp almost
exclusively. Though I don't have Imageready, and don't even know what it
is. I suspect this issue will devolve to 'what the person is doing' and at
the Dummies level of the original query, I can easily imagine other people
liking Gimp as well.

'optimize?' I mean...
