Great info, Rich. I tried ti all and it works perfectly. You're right no quirk, just the way GIMP works. This is a treasure trove of good info for me. I was wondering why it was so quirky, now I understand the really great features GIMP has . Very clear explanation. The screenshots really help also. -- GerryPeters (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
