# Is Gimp so tricky that one needs instruction?
I've heard people say it is and it's been putting me off.
Edit: Top blarbing!

For someone who's been using Photoshop for 10 years, there are difference that make you go "ok... now how do I ...x...?" It's just a familiarity thing though. Like moving between a Mac and a PC. All the functions are there, just the buttons look a little different.

The bit I needed help with is that the animation part is not as slick as ImageReady where you spread the frames out like a piece of film. A 2 sentence tip from BobbyBB had me figure it and change from a 3 frame nyom-nyom-nyom loop into a nice blaaarb anim in about 3 mins.

# apparently there's a mod out there
that makes gimp more ps-like.

Gimp isn't immediately user friendly imho.

# I found GIMP a little difficult to start with
but just played around with it and tried things out and quickly got the hang of it
