Gimp Tutorial - Metallic Text
,----[ Quote ]
| I figured the old chrome-text tutorial over at the Gimp User Group site could
| use both an update and an enhancement of technique. Mine is done on Gimp
| version 2.2.13.

Linux VS Windows usability.

| It all boils down to knowing what you are doing. Trying to do anything
| without the required knowledge is hard and the professionals make everything
| look easy. I would say that in terms of usability Linux has the upper hand.

Gimp 2.3 (preview of 2.4)
,----[ Quote ]
| The major change for this release seems to be a big usability
| overhaul. New defaults are now in place that make the Gimp look
| a little bit like Photoshop, but still has many features that
| make it unique.
