yes, so i end up copying visable and paste as new to work on that, that also helps with the undo, cos its impractical to set that much higher than 10x when you're doing large images as well. but it means i end up having several version of the same image in diffenrt stages stored, which uses tons of disk space, of which i have enough but still.

Depends on your system I suppose. smaller images are no problem. in fact when i started using gimp i had a much smaller machine, only 64 memory, barely up to gimps minimal requirements and it did fine > What I have is an Athlon 1200 Mhz Tbird, 768 megs of ram, about 15 gigs of > HD space to play with.

That, along with the CYMK thing, are what seem to keep it alive. iit does have some neat functions, i like the idea of a history brush. maybe one could get rid of some functions in the gimp that are the same or nearly the same or aren't much use to make room for other differnt ones. for instance in the light effects we have flare fx and gflare, and i think gflare has the same flare in it as flare fx, that's only a little thing i know, but there are other examples of duplication ( i just can't think of any off the top of my head) sammi _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
