Figured it out and finished the tutorial. Thanks.

I just installed GIMP before the tutorial and almost none of the menus are the same as yours. This first became very apparent when I tried to manipulate the text, which I managed to figure out my own way through the intuitive UI. However, the part where you right click on the text to create the marching ants selection is so different that I can't even find the tools that you're using. Actually, I wish my text editing layout was more like yours (in general), since it's way better.

I fully agree with you johnny, if someone speaks with an accent means that they can speak at least more than one language. I think she speaks very clearly.

[Pam Knowles]

I enjoyed that very much, very clearly spoken, and easy to follow.
