I am a photoshop user, I am very uncomfortable using GIMP, specially because of being able to do some tasks easier (like being able to rotate the text box on the fly, while writting text). This video helped me a bit with my struggles with GIMP. One of the advantages of GIMP is being able to convert color formats perfectly out of the box, like YUV to RGB conversion, which is very bad on photoshop. I'd just like that as an open source project, GIMP would have the z.lib aka libzimg. I don't like the scalers that come with GIMP and photoshop, and being able to use Spline36 on a image editor would be awesome.

I use Gimp for all my raster graphics too! It's nice to see you making a guide like this, it will definitely attract more people to Gimp. One thing I wish that Gimp had is the ability to make shapes. Of course I know that you can make shapes by selecting an area and then filling it, but so many other raster image editors have this ability and it pushes people away from Gimp.

Hey DT! Do you know that when you have a floating selection (like after pasting) you can press the new layer button at the bottom of the layer window and it will merge the floating selection into a new layer. Personally I only use this all the time and I merge or whatever the new layer into another one instead of anchoring the floating selection. I honestly don't really understand the need of a floating layer. It confuses new people greatly. Sorry, not greatly, but MASSIVELY. Why wouldn't the Paste command simply create a new layer is beyond me. Aaanyway, at the end, the cut and paste of the layers wasn't needed. There's a tool to move layers (the icon is a 4-direction arrow). By holding Shift and dragging, it will move the active layer. Without Shift, it will try to guess the layer you want to move based on where you started dragging. There's other options too. Hope these little tricks helped. Cheers!
