ARGH!

Oh, come on. How bloody difficult can one piece of software be to operate?

VERY bloody difficult apparently, and it's getting harder not to lose my temper over not being able to do the SIMPLEST BLOODY THING WITH A .BMP FILE.

I just want Ulead back, is that so much to ask??

Huh.

What stops you from simply saving it as a png/xcf/whatever file and working with that?

[thelibraniniquity]

No, the original screencap was a .bmp, but as with the last time I tried to use the Gimp, none of the dialogue boxes were where they had been before, half the options were missing and I had no idea how to get them back again. Somehow I think I'm going to be asking for Ulead for Christmas.

I just want a dorky Garrity icon :(

Well, as I said, the Gimp does need some getting used to. But you can be sure that it never does anything that you didn't tell it to ;).

I like that in a program. I know, though, that that's not how everybody feels (if they did, we'd all be working with Linux, lol ;) ).

I've tried. I really have tried. Just that until May I had maybe five years' experience with the old Ulead program, and yeah, I'm not a huge fan of change, especially when it's away from something I've been able to work with already.
I'm still gonna ask for a new Ulead for Christmas though :)

I guess it's a matter of taste. I remember taking a look at the Ulead prog once, and I must say - uh, no thanks ;). But whatever works, right? :)

[thelibraniniquity]

Yep :)
