I walked a lady through GIMP on Windows 2000 today, & she was delighted with it.
A feature that she particularly liked was being able to select things (wand, oval, block, whatever) then feather the selection so whatever you did had no sharp edges. She also liked being able to select with the wand, then tidy up using Ctrl & the other selection tools before actually doing anything with the selection. This visual interaction with the selection tools particularly struck me when she noticed that a rectangular selection grew rounded corners when it was feathered. So I started wondering: is it feasible to do something like make the selection's borders gently more fuzzy or translucent when a selection is feathered? That would just about make her day. Her approach to many things is artistic & a little impulsive, so I think that makes her reactions a good benchmark of non-technical users in general.
