While I've pottered around on GIMP before, today was the first time I tried to design art with it.

I did eventually figure out how to do what I needed, but I'm pretty burnt out in the process.

New lappy is really great. It does the stuff I want it to quickly and smoothly. It communicates and plays very well with my Nomad. Soon I will introduce it to the printer. Oooo..scary.
It's nice to re-learn that technology should be helpful, not curse word inducing.

Visit to the eye dr. today. I know why my eyes are swelling shut, I know there's nothing she can do, I just hoped for magic.

There's a mod for Gimp that'll turn the interface into something that's more like Photomoshop - no idea how you get it, but worth looking into.

I've been meaning to check out the Gimp myself, so if I ever do a screen printing demo, I can tell people how to make halftones using free software.

Never used it myself, but probably worth checking out.

It's not that I'm having issues using it, it's that Gimp doesn't draw circles. And I came up with a work around.

It's not hard.
