The downside to things like Pixlr and Paint.net is that it’s internet based and that can cause problems in terms of lag and quality. I definitely recommend GIMP since it’ll give you the best quality.

That’s definitely something I’ve noticed as well. Sometimes I’ve had to sacrifice the resolution of an image in order to do what I wanted, but GIMP can work with a lot of high res imagery-- as I was saying earlier the only thing about that is all the image compression ; though I don’t mind because I’d rather have the clearest image possible. I’m very big on the details.

The way I taught myself Photoshop is simply by googling things like “how to make transparent png photoshop”. I’m sure you’re more than capable of that since Episode coding can take similar amounts of effort to learn.

This is how I’ve been learning GIMP as well! I just look stuff up as I need it rather than trying to learn everything at once. It’s been going well that way.

Thanks for the mobile app recommendations as well! I bought the upgraded version of Pixomatic and I love it. I actually made all the covers I’ve used for The Ladies’ Man’s Playbook with it and they came out awesome. The only issue I had with that is scaling everything to the correct size I need because the screen is much smaller than a computer. Other than that, I think it worked wonders.
