gimp 2.4, what an improvement!
Hello,
Just wanted to mention that I installed Gimp 2.4 yesterday and played around it a bit. It is a wonderful experience over the previous one. The selections are now resizable and it has red eye reduction function to mention the most basic ones which were lacking earlier. So if I wanted to crop an image with a particular aspect raion, I had to select the area multiple times to get it right. And didn't have any straight forward method to reduce red eyes. Both are a breeze now. Kudos to the developers! -HS |

There's a "windows deweirdifier" plugin if you want it to all be confined in one window. OTOH, having separate windows has advantages once you get used to it - especially if you're working with two monitors. |

I wasn't aware of the deweirdifier plugin though. thanks, -HS |

Jonesy I thought about that, but windows on other desktops are not visible so not sure how useful that can be. -HS |
