[QUOTE="reese2147, post: 1336877, member: 225066"] Greetings. I am new to the world of mac, receiving a new iMac recently as a gift. Man, i wish would have made "the switch" sooner! Previously I used a very old version of photoshop for graphics design and utilized microsoft publisher for design of pamphlets for my business. Now that I have made the switch, I have transitioned into GIMP for mac for my graphics design needs and have yet to find a replacement for publisher. My questions are as follows. 1) Is there an "easier" way to do text effects in GIMP than the tutorials I have found online? (example :[url=http://superdit.com/2011/05/27/30-gimp-text-effect-typography-tutorials-collection/]30 GIMP Text Effect & Typography Tutorials Collection[/url]) In photoshop, I could do some basic text effects with just a couple clicks of the mouse. GIMP does not seem to have that functionality. 2) Is there a suitable replacement for Publisher in the mac world? this does not have to be anything overly elaborate, as my pamphlet designs are fairly simple (some text over a faded picture is about the extent of the "fanciness" Thank you very much for any input you can give.
