Question, what is the advantage of using OpenGL Drawing? I see you're using it. When I have it enabled, the selection marker is bugged. Basically you have an offset by 1x1 pixels top left when selecting something and it's really annoying, so I usually turn this off. What's the difference?

@bladefinor OpenGL basically uses your video card to accelerate image processing. It's fine to leave it off, some of the 3D tools may not work though. It sounds like your video card may not either be compatible or up to speed therefore causing it to act up.

I love what you do man, I really do. But every time you say "LCD Display" you might as well be saying liquid crystal display display. Awesome tut though!

[djbeto267]

@torkle You're right!

What's the shortcut to rename layers?

@djbeto267 It's an HD 5850. I don't think that's the issue. I just looked it up on Google and found out that it's a marquee bug. Basically when you select something like 25x25 release the mouse button, the selection goes to 24x25 instead. It's really buggy. Apparently Adobe are investigating the issue right now, but I've had this since CS4.

@djbeto267 Alright, cool. I have PS too, just more used to GIMP and all. But thanks though.

[djbeto267]

@ImAlexLopez Don't have any GIMP tutorials at the moment. Tried it once and didn't go well. Might try it again in the future.
