I got an IM about someone not being able to use my skin templates (in either PSD or XCF) with paint.net, so...

I'm just wondering if it's something I should seriously be looking into supporting.

Hmmm... I figured Gimp might be too hard to figure out or install... and that paint.net was somehow better/easier.

i only know someone who uses paint.net to post process pics, but i don't think she creates her clothes in it.

gimp isn't difficult to install, really. it's not too hard to figure out. they actually have a skin you can use if

you're used to how photoshop looks, and supposedly it helps. (i don't know PS so i didn't use the skin.)

Just chiming in to say a friend of mine uses it, but only for post processing pics. I don't think he does any real texture work with it.

uses it for tinkering with photos and slapping together the odd half-assed logo. It'd be a pain to use for texture work.

gimp has been working well for me, and I have not had any graphics training in any format. I have not tried working on skins yet, though.
