I've read the documentation several times and every tutorial I could get my hands on, but I still can't make any sense out of how to properly use layers..
For example, I want to merge two pictures, by taking some regions from one picture and some from another. I though I could do this by making unwanted regions transparent - this seems obvious. I also tried some other techniques basd on a few tutorials, but none seemed to work well. But I simply don't get results that make any sense. The vagueness of the docuemntation and being unable to find any other guide is not helping. Is this a case where GIMP simply makes it so difficult compared to Photoshop that I'd be better off buying a Windows machine and using Photoshop? I wanted to use GIMP for my photo manipulation. I had assumed after all these years that it was usable. I hope I'm not forced to go to Photoshop over something simple like this. If there's no chance that GIMP can be used as efficiently as photoshop, perhaps it would be sensible to give up sooner rather than later. But this is a big expense for me, at the least I'll need to buy a second machine, or give up on Linux on the desktop altogether. It's so tragic that after all these years, GIMP's user interface has seen no improvement. I had hoped that at least the documentation would be useful. -- thomas w.
