Anyone know of a good way to learn gimp?

Could it be the OS?

I have a very average and increasingly limited laptop (thanks to a certain compatibility issue with Win 10 in its current build). The largest files I can create in GIMP these days on Win 10 are only about 5000 pi square.

Meanwhile, when I log into my Linux partition I can create GIMP files that are up to 10,000 pi square, and they function faster than the 5000 pi files do on Win 10. In fact, GIMP runs like a dream on Linux.

Someone told me not so long ago that this might be down to the fact that GIMP was originally written on and for Linux. I don't know if that's true or not, but it makes sense according to what I've seen for myself.

What do you run yours on, Brombur?

windows 10 pc, with decent graphics card. I game a lot and have no issues. maybe I got a corrupted download or other issue. I may try again because Pixlr is nice there are several tools that are lacking, primarily the ability to lay a grid over your work. I had to make a png file o a grid to use. total pain.
