Hmmm. I've got some practicing to do. GIMP isn't very graceful. At least in windows it isn't. For example, if I'm using th magnify tool, I'll be increasing by certain magnitudes, and then it will jump very far forward. Like it'll be 2x-4x-8x-50x. And the same going out.

Anyway, for this purpose it does what I want. I think I may try a demo of the newer PSP and see if it does this. I've had version 5 for like 6 years
