I’m not sure installing gimp is a plus. ;-) I’ve been using computers for over 30 years, I have a master’s in computer science, a decade or two with Linux and Unix variants... I still find gimp nearly impossible to get to work about 25% of the time I want to do something. Seriously, probably my longest standing, can’t wrap my head around, piece of software. ... Maybe I’ll add “figure out and become good with gimp and brushes” to my bucket list. May just live forever.

LOL! I feel your pain there. I’ll open it occasionally to play around with. I actually use it to scan from my scanner/printer. Creating something from scrathc, though—that’s a whole ‘nother animal.

I love gimp. Especially the ability to write scripts to manipulate large batches of images semi-automajikally.

It's one of those pieces of software that you love or hate. Sometimes both, within a few minutes.
