GIMP Help section?
Hey guys. I just noticed that there isn't an official GIMP help section, similar to the photoshop section. Is there any way we could get a GIMP Help Section, or maybe a general "Graphics Editing/Creation" section? It seems like you guys would really be able to help with GIMP, since it uses a lot of perl and scripting...plus i don't know where to post my questions about it...

Instead of a totally new section, perhaps we could just use a single thread and post Q+A there? If so, where would I put that?

Also, does anyone else here use GIMP? I think spydr9627 does, as he said something about it when i introduced myself and mentioned that i use it... but when i did a search in the threads for it, i didn't get much...

Well, thanks for any help, cya around!
~Matt

Iron_Cross agrees: General Graphics Editing sounds better.

Can I just say, this is not the type of thread I was expecting in the Lounge when I seen the title - 'GIMP Help section' !!

Moved from the Lounge.

Perhaps the Photoshop Help forum could be changed to a "Photoshop and GIMP Help" forum?

ah, sorry, didn't even notice the suggestion section. That would probably work, adding GIMP to the photoshop section... I didn't really think i could post GIMP-specific questions in the photoshop area, and i couldn't think of anywhere else to post them...

yeah or make it general Image Editing or something.

rank too highly? I might just be being a noob here, but i don't quite get what you mean...

I guess i could just put "GIMP" in front of any questions i have...

EDIT: By the way, computer, i really like your avatar, what was used to make it?

According to Google, gimp is "lameness: disability of walking due to crippling of the legs or feet".
