If I had any real gimp skills I would create and submit an image of the gimp from Pulp Fiction. No way it would ever get picked but man would it be funny!

;i saw that. i'm already on it!

;i gotta say, i am so used to photoshop... the gimp is so completely different. the functions are there, but the interface is strange.

Have you tried gimpshop? It's gimp with a photoshop like interface.

;i've seen it, but i haven't installed it. dropline came with the gimp (straight-up). i used to do graphic design professionally, so the program behavior and keyboard shortcuts of photoshop are second-nature now. the thing that irritates me most in the gimp is the window behavior, i have to select a tool and then re-select the window with the image i'm editing. BIG pain. i hope gimpshop rectifies that issue. when i first saw it last month i breathed a sign of relief (apparently the gimp developers don't like gimpshop--oh well!). i'll post back when i've had a chance to install it and tool around a bit.

Isn't this dictated by your windowmanager settings? I don't have this problem.
