 Hello

 I want to extend my thanks to the developers of Gimp, the list members
 here (who are SO VERY helpful), and the authors of Gimp books. Once I
 got my head around the concept of layers, it was so easy and intuitive
 to use gimp. I am still a noobie, but one with enough conviction about
 the possibilities: all thanks to the wonderful people of the Gimp
 world. Yesterday, I created this web banner for a client:
 http://www.re-taste.com/catalog/images/banner-feb-09.png - While no
 master piece, by any sense of the word, it keeps the clients happy :)

 Thanks

 Ajay
 (PS: I see layers everywhere - Everytime I see one of those mega
 banners on the highway, or an advt at the train station, I immediately
 break it into layers...)

I cant help but agree with Ajay.
A heartfull thanks to all the individuals who give their time to this project.
I LOVE Gimp! I use it fo a varety of tasks. Anything from just resizing or 
converting things my daughter wants in a better shape, to photo editing.
It so handy.!

And as far as braking things down in layers..
I was a herald in the Society for Creatine Anachronism (SCA) a while back.
I broke every streetsing into heraldic language...
Almost the same thing! :)
It actually helps me now, as i edit and combine images.
I can look at a picture and break it down to major and minor components, and 
thus into layers. VERY handy.

Keep up the wonderful work!!!

Re: [Gimp-user] thanks and what format is best to start with when doing seperations

 Thanks for the newsprint and color seperation instructions.
 I was certain these were possible but could not find detailed
 instructions. I have not tried anything yet but will get on it now
 an dhave some tests in this hour.

 I was very disappointed to get this first response:
 I don't think this is possible. JPEG are already cooked, and
 flattened picture. I don't think you will be able to break it down,
 and turn it back to xcf (gimp format).  I guess you shouldn't have
 deleted the original file of the image.

 BUT
 then the real answers came flying in.
 I said JPG at first but I don't care if I start with a JPG or BMP
 or GIF. I figure any image I can scan on the flatbed scanner can be
 a target to work with.
 Which brings out the question of WHAT FORMAT would be the best to
 start in when knoing that the
 whole seperation process will be done with an image.
 Is there any reason to select any one format over another
 considering that most shared images do show up as GIF and
 JPG.?!?!?!

You should go with .png's.

Jpgś are lossy,a bnd gif's are not full color.
