For showing graphics to a graphics community like this, it is nice to index the graphic (after flattening) and save as png (smaller file format -- almost the same amount of actual information). TheGIMP will rarely make decisions for you like this, so it might help to brush up on the different file formats and what you (as a human being) can do with them. > it.

TheGIMP has always opened with the layers dialog. I heard a rumor that photoshop followed some of TheGIMP's layer dynamics (and in my opinion could do some catching up). also, i have a heck of a time getting Photoshop to work for me. i find it to be limited and it has this quality of treating me like an idiot. Good luck making the transition. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
