The key difference is that effects or effect layers give the power to easily change things after they have been done. Nothing is set in stone. The changes are non-destructive giving the freedom to change things in future. This is especially useful when presenting things to clients, which by nature want to change things no matter what you present them :). Larry was also able to draw the Linux penguin without features like layers, yet I'm sure he would have been happy beaing able to make use of them. It's not that things are not achievable. Non-destructive workflows are in my view a very useful functionality worth investigating. cheers -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Novell, Inc. _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
