Layers in v3 are fantastic…even better if it could do this:
Upon multiple layers selected & ^G, people would expect them to be grouped as one, instead of literally adding as many groups as the selected layers?
Cant draw parallel with PS but catering to intuition is a good thing.

Knocked out a lower-third design using #Friction v1 RC2 —the master file weighs < 80 Kb. Ofc you can go crazy with the ornaments from here on out. #Motiongraphics hasn't been this smooth without the heavyweights.
Byline is fictional; could be foreshadowing

Frame #animation with open standard? Totally doable!
In #Flash it's called Movie Clip instance. In #Friction / #Enve it's called Flip Book. There's curve editor too for easing.

"GIMP su—" yeah we hear ya.
Let's look at the painpoint:
Digital artists use the 2 keys to adjust brush size when #drawing / #painting in #photoshop.
You could do the same in #GIMP but there's another way that's even more intuitive. Here's how.
