Since then I have also discovered inkscape, but the Gimp stuff is still relevant now and then.
Nice tutorials, IMO Inkscape is much easier than Gimp for those graphics.
what do you think?
I don't like raster editors for the web (gimp, photoshop), because those images scale up poorly. I prefer a vector graphics, like fireworks (or, from what i understand inkscape). You can stretch those images to the size of infinity, and they still look great.
