After using PS, GIMP was really easy to get used to. However, for anyone who wasn't proficient with PS prior to using GIMP, I imagine it would be a steep learning curve. On the other hand, most people can not just pick up Photoshop quickly either (to an acceptable standard). Overall, I think GIMP is on par with, if not easier to learn than other image editing software.

Re: [Gimp-user] iMac scanner + GIMP
Hi Got an iMac and couldn´t get SANE to work, not even finding the scanner, I bought the light edition of VueScan instead(19US-dollars?). The afterwork GIMP fixed well. You need to be your own Steve Jobs to install SANE.

My history is similar to yours, except that I've got more experience with GIMP than you claim. I, too, found the UI to be complex, and difficult to use and understand. What made the program much more useful for me was getting a copy of Akkana Peck's book, Beginning Gimp / From Novice to Professional, published by APress. About USD 50, but if you're serious about learning GIMP, it's hard to think of a better way to spend the money. ns ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

It'd be awesome to have it inside Gimp, though. For one, it'd get more attention from developers that way, and maybe get more features (like UCR/GCR, etc) sooner... At least I hope. :P But if it doesn't end up being part of Gimp, I'm quite happy with it anyway. :) -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
[Gimp-user] Am I stupid or What?
I've only been using computers for about 25 years, and gimping along with Gimp for about 6 months, so why do I have to get help every time I try to do something in this program? It seems to me that it is one of the most unfriendly and unintuitive command layouts I've ever encountered. It's driving me nuts. I can't seem to do ANYTHING without Youtube or Forum help. Maybe I should just head to the iceflow with my last pile of firewood...sigh. -- Nick C.

Since you are working on a logo for a business you should use a vector based editing program. That will allow you to create bitmap versions of your logo at any size you need without loss of quality. ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] Separate+ 0.5.8-beta1
Hi, Separate+ is not a simple RGB->CMYK plug-in any longer. I think we have to remove some features and elements (profile selection widgets, devicelink profile support, icc_colorspace plug-in and so on) if it will be merged into the GIMP 2.8. (However, I do not wish for it so much.) -- Yoshinori Yamakawa ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
