Very welcome! You know me and postwork, I feel the same. Nothing wrong with making something totally from scratch with it though

Be on the lookout for GIMP 2.8, not sure when it's going to be released though. It has a one-window mode, and TONS of extra stuff, including gimp paint studio, and this thing called g'mic, which is similar to this gimpressionist, but with more crazy effects
