Hey Julie, The Shadow Recovery script-fu plugin may be helpful: http://www.gimphelp.org/scripts/contrast_shadow_recovery.shtml You will most likely find yourself looking for tools in the GIMP that aren't there, because it evolved separately from Photoshop and the workflow for most tasks is just plain different. That has been my experience from the other side, as a long time GIMP users experimenting with Photoshop. The GIMP will get the job done, once you get used to it. Initially you will be reading a lot of tutorials and watching a lot of videos. Reading through the online (or local) manual and taking notes where and as "aha!" moments arrive would also be helpful. You already found out where to ask questions when you get stuck. :o) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
