Perhaps I'm just used to the 2.6 interface.
Initially the new sliders (i.e. layer opacity adjustment, etc) were puzzling to me. Then I had my "well duh!" moment when someone on-list mentioned that the coarse adjustment function is active with the cursor in the top half of the slider area, the fine adjustment function in the bottom half. The on-canvas text editor gave me cat fits, until I started playing with it in new empty images just to figure it out. Now I am starting to like it a lot better than the gadget it replaces. I lost "on the fly" brush editing via an always-open brush editor window, but regained it via the tool options tab and a couple of user set keyboard accelerators. Full screen mode was not as bad as I expected, but it's just not for me. So far every snag I have hit in GIMP 2.8 turns out to be either something the improved or something that moved to a more logical location. :o) Steve _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list gimp-user-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
