yup, "painful" would be the right word. Over time, i have just resorted to simple tools. When in need of a gradient I draw it by hand using brushes, size it and blur it. in other words I paint it and deal with it just like any other layer. much simpler and far less painful. This approach might n

Well, if I could say something about creating gradients in gimp (as a regular user), there are some issues that I think that can get the user confused or frustrated: - using right mouse button to change colors and to split segments: Intuitivelly, I see the right mouse button as "more options"
