Personally, I find using the Gimp very hard. > Nothing seems easy or 'natural'. Perhaps I just need more practise. > the thing is, if your experience had been with the gimp first, everything would seem more natural for you. and in some respects, it is wrong to blame gimp for this feeling. many of the things that gimp does, it does in more steps than some of the other apps. each step has different options. for instance, it seems that photoshop has these new layer effects. for gimp users, this has always been available in a two step process in which you add a new layer and then change its mode. in someways, it should be more natural as you have all the options available to you at each step of the way. good luck making the transition, btw. gimp is worth it. carol _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
