I spent years and years using Paint Shop Pro 5 [do not like the newer 
version much] and Corel Draw [4 to 12] on Windows.  There are still a 
lot of "filters", and options, I need for GIMP to do some of the things 
I am used to with Paint Shop Pro 5.  I started using it about a year ago 
and still not as good as I want to be with GIMP.  I have been using 
Inkscape for about 2 or 3 years.  The thing I do with the cover file is 
embed it into an Inkscape file to format it the actual print size for 
the cover.  Then print the Inkscape file instead of resizing the image 
during the printing through GIMP.

I use to use JPG over PNG for most all my images.  GIF for transparency 
issues/needs.  But it seems that I am dealing with PNG a lot these days.

I do not know who decided on Green being the LO color, but my favorite 
color is a shade of green.

So are we going to use Alt-8 for the cover?  Nice to have both 
backgrounds to choose from.
