thanks for such a fast response. I am not sure I know how to install anything other than what they guide me to on the Gimp page or cnet. Can you please explain?

I am running Gimp 2.6.6 for Windows on 64 bit XP SP3, without any difficulty, though it appears I may have intstalled using the 32 bit version. ns ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 18:06:25 -0700 (PDT) From: G J J <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] not working To: [email protected], [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" try vers 6.2.4 you could always return and get your money back, I hear they let you keep using it after that. lol seriously, i cant get the newer versions to run on my Vista ________________________________ From: Mary Dargis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 6:28:11 PM Subject: [Gimp-user] not working hi, I have a new hp laptop running vista x64 i have installed and uninstalled gimp a few times and keep getting the message that gimp has stopped working.

The Windows installers for GIMP 2.6.5 and GIMP 2.6.6 is packaged wrongly and will only keep from crashing with luck. You should either use GIMP 2.6.4 or wait for GIMP 2.6.7 to be released, which should be soonish. / Martin -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2009 07:02:08 +0200 (CEST) From: "Carusoswi" <[email protected]> Subject: [Gimp-user] Levels tool with Layers To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> >I really appreciate the replies. In the work flow example I gave earlier in this thread, am I correct that there is no other practical way to accomplish those steps on a photo other than to perform them destructively on a single layer (set levels, hit ok, correct color, hit ok, etc. so that you can't go back without undoing in sequence or just scrapping your work and starting over from scratch)? And flattening or merging layers is really sort of a 'kicked down the road' way of 'hitting OK' albeit you are committing to a batch of changes rather than accepting them one at a time - better, I guess, in that you get to see the net effect of all the layers in the stack before committing to their effect. So, if I'm correct, then, I finally think I've grasped how to use layers in editing a photo. Additional advice appreciated. Thanks.
