there are a lot of people who cannot learn from tutorials. It is nothing to be ashamed of - different people are made differently and learn in different ways. I struggled with GIMP for at least 10 years - I was only able to understand it when Akkana Peck ran a GIMP class on the linuxchix mailing list some years back - *then* I learnt. That class and the responses to it are available on the linuxchix mailing list archives. (Akkana is one of the leading GIMP users in the world). But surely there is at least one person in Chennai who can offer to take a few classes? -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com Coimbatore LUG rox http://ilugcbe.techstud.org/ _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
