Thanks, Mark, for a thoughtful reply. You are right about CentOS. Those who want latest-and-greatest use Fedora. CentOS is designed for stability. I read that somewhere. :-)
A couple of missing functions didn't offend me and I got around them. The saving to .psd issue - well, that's more irritating - but I was able to get people who need to use the output to install Gimp. The primary output I am generating is, of course, the actual image files, Jpegs. > If you're trying to do programmed image manipulation from a web app, > the Gimp might not be the best choice.

In this particular case, I was excited to try out Gimp because it enables me to manipulate psd files & layers. What I wound up coming up with is so beautiful, it hurts. I am truly grateful for the existence of Gimp API in the end. I am tempted to pollute the list by telling you all about the neat idea. But that's what happens as you get wiser - you learn to resist your temptations. Yes, even on the internet! Thanks everyone again! Especially Mark. He gets a ribbon for named pipes! _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
