- I tried GIMP a couple of months ago, I wanted to create a header logo for my blog, gave up :( I'm not the best at graphics unfortunately. Nice useful tutorials, I will come back and look at these when I come to try again to design my blog.

- I love that Gimp offers their program for free. I did try to use it once before I was all that savvy on my paintshop program and got a little frustrated, but that was years back. I'll have to check out Gimp again and see if I can get the hang of it now. Great work!
