some tips for GIMP...the layers have a...damn cant think of the name....filters....
you can change how the layer effects the overall piece by changing that, there is a drop down menu (in the layer section) and a large list of filters.
also say you want to darken up or make a color more bold, instead of messing with the saturation/brightness create a duplicate layer....and merge them together....
also merging layers has to be done in a certain order to get the filters to work properly...unless both layers have the same filter if you try to merge a layer down and say the top layer is set to "burn" and the one below it is set to "normal" you will lose the "burn" effect unless you go to the second layer from the bottom and merge them down that way, then the filters will stay put.
a good thing to do is save the project as a GIMP file and then merge the layers to save as a BMP...JPEG....ECT ECT
this sway if you need to change anything you still have all the layers separate and can easily go back and mess with that one thing that bugs ya
remember "CTRLZ"(undo) is your friend, in the beginning I used that shortcut more then any
