[Lancaster] GIMP colour & [Re: SAMBA Problem]

[Ken Hough]

Richard,

Have had time to play with cinepaint. Initial impressions were 
favourable, but on further use I discovered some serious limitations on 
the current version. eg:

There does not appear to be any provision for printing.

Instances where KDE and/or the X server locked up necessitating a 
'killall X'.

Can't imagine how professional studio users can manage with it. I guess 
I'll stick with GIMP for a while.
