I feel the frustration of the OP, as I too had the same issue when I first started out. This is not a usability issue at all. There is NO WAY that everything in a program can be totally intuitive, and to expect that is just silly. I do love forums such as this though, as I never knew you could go back and change the position of previous points as you go along. That is awesome! -- steven8 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: [email protected] List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
