Graphics design

[Aranince]

I'm in a weird place right now. I don't do enough graphics design to drop $300 on photoshop. Pixelmator is missing a lot of features I need(Simple tiling, adding noise, etc.) and I'm not sure I want to use gimp because of X11.

Should I try grimp? Are there other options?

Take a look at Pure-Mac for some examples.
