Quoting Carol Spears :
gimp is a cool graphics art app. there are not many people working on
it however. i am asking for your help to move both of their attention
to the site i made for them.
Yes, gimp is a VERY cool app. Now, I use it for anything, I had made some
scripts to automagicaly create my site navigation pictures.
But when I begun, Gimp seemed very difficult, for example, it's very
complicated to make a circle. Or some standard shapes. I know that gimp was
designed for image/photo manipulation, but there are some very basic features
like the circle, filled circle that are difficult to know how to do.
In fact, I don't know how I can make a circle/elipse in gimp, so, I use the
circle selection, and with layers, I just play with these. Maybe if gimp was
easier to use for these basic shapes, it would be more famous for begginers
who would use it for anything!
And more, if there was some video tutorial like the commercial packaged
software, gimp would be easier to understand. I mean a downloadble pack which
when it's launched have an "flash-like" interface which explain with some
videos, examples with before and after gimp images. Then the begginer can
install his rpm without video, it's only goodies! But it's could help
promoting the nice piece of code that is gimp! But generrally, I think it's
the big problem between free software vs commercial and begginners.
