But still, I'm not holding my breath... :-) After reading this I went searching for screenshots of Gimp2 and I found some here: http://www.egr.msu.edu/~kucherpa/gimp2.0pre2/ It looks -VERY- nice and I would totally use this over Photoshop since it now has a more "Photoshopesque" interface. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
