But, it was stressful there for a while since I thought I was doing something wrong. Now that I have a leg to stand on, I'm feeling more confident. Either that or it's just the fact that when it comes to software such as GIMP, I'm not well-versed. I think the issue is that I'm using Vista and the directions I've come across are for people using XP.
