That 4% needs to be weighed against the proportion of people who use image manipulation programs. A much higher percentage of United States residents edit digital photographs than Nigerian citizens, for example. Personally, I would name it after a famous painting or painter so that people would i

Re: [Gimp-user] Gimp vs. Photoshop

This goes right to the heart of my biggest complaint about GIMP though: its name. I don't understand why the developers would put so much time and hard work into creating a program as professional as GIMP and then name it after a slang word for a disabled person. How do you sell that to a corpora

[Gimp-user] psd files

Hello. I've got a bunch of psd files that I need to convert to a useable format; I don't have a photoshop application. Gimp can't open them, though it can save to the psd format and then reopen those files that it has saved to the format. I read that there a two different types of psd formats, a

What I did to solve a problem similar to this (need a vending machine to face the opposite way). I flipped the machine to create a mirror image, and so of course the text was backward on the face of the machine, I then selected the texted by it-self and reflipped it back to the original direct

[Gimp-user] miror image

Can anyone tell me please if there is an opton to mirror an image rather than just flipping it. I want to put a graphic on the other side of a banner and flipping it makes the letters backwards. A mirror image would make them the right way around after flipping. Thanks, Alexis

Here is my own modest grain of salt in the discussion: I have been teaching Gimp to first-year university students for more than six years, to one or two hundreds students every year. I have never encountered any specific criticism among them about Gimp's GUI. More, I cannot understand what seems
