there's a tutorial out there called 'Grokking the Gimp', which is a very long and detailed set of hyperlinked web pages. About the plugin mentioned above; I saw this a few months ago, but someone had set up the Gimp interface to look like Photoshop, and it had the added benefit of being able to use Photoshop filters in Gimp. Haven't tried it, but if so, it's going to be fun...should be able to do a search in the forums.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
