It will be full color, glossy print if all things go as planned. The text is still in development but should be ready before years end. i look forward to seeing it, i saw your first one on amazon and was going to buy that, i have the other gimp book somewhere, the grokking the gimp one. The book is not a reference guide, I.E. it's not a you'll find filter X in menu Y book. It's completely tutorial based, with multiple sections of multiple tutorials each. There will be sections on Type, Print/Advertising, Web, and UI Design, among others. sounds good :) One of mine did well, the other not so well. There wasn't a really big desktop Linux market at the time 1.2 rolled out (and GIMP existed only marginally on non-Unix platforms for awhile) and ~8 books pretty much saturated that market. The market is bigger now, but at least some of that spreads into the Windows and Mac market. It's unclear (at least to me) if that means better sales for these kinds of books or not. i think (from a users view :)) a tutorial based one should do well. i have had the grokking the gimp one for quite a long while but to do stuff i bought magazines which featured photoshop tutorials. sammi ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Depends on your system I suppose. smaller images are no problem. in fact when i started using gimp i had a much smaller machine, only 64 memory, barely up to gimps minimal requirements and it did fine What I have is an Athlon 1200 Mhz Tbird, 768 megs of ram, about 15 gigs of HD space to play with. Not real slow but hardly extraordinary. I've never used a complete version of Photoshop. me neither, nor a trial version. I stopped using proprietary software two or three years ago.

That, along with the CYMK thing, are what seem to keep it alive. iit does have some neat functions, i like the idea of a history brush. maybe one could get rid of some functions in the gimp that are the same or nearly the same or aren't much use to make room for other differnt ones. for instance in the light effects we have flare fx and gflare, and i think gflare has the same flare in it as flare fx, that's only a little thing i know, but there are other examples of duplication ( i just can't think of any off the top of my head) sammi ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
