In Gimp, no external input devices are recognized. Is there a way for it to recognize the touch screen as one of those devices?

I am looking for a free online editing software that allows you to change the resolution on a photo.

i hate Gimp for not loading any of my artwork online at the moment.

So Im saving this banner from the Internet (someone tells me I can advertsie for them). On my pc, then open it up in gimp, but the Banner is to large, tried to reduce the image, but it gets Destorted, and the quality is reduced, any way to reduce the image size, and keep the quality. Thanks.

I made a animated picture with gimp, but it only moves when you save it as a xcf file, now i want to use it on a photobucket and the site doesnt support xcf. how do i change it in an animated file that is suppported by websites like gif or something?

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to design for TomatoCart templates. I am a novice. Any suggestions about using GIMP and PS?

I saw this picture on DeviantArt a couple of months ago where this guy drew Hiccup and Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon on photoshop or something. He first drew the two characters and colored them in; then colored in a background. After he was done with that he did this effect where he added a white border around Hiccup and Toothless to separate them from the background and make them look 3 Dimensional. I was wondering how you'd do that effect on Gimp or photoshop.

When you download a file which is an animated image and then you open it in gimp how do you stop it going all pixalized when you add anything different, whether its adding new text or pasting another image on there. The actual file doesnt go funny its just other stuff. Ive tried saving the files in JPG and GIF but no success so far. Any ideas?
