apparently there are no more students in area to help me out personally. darn it!!
i know i am doing something very basic wrong...even starting from scratch i run into issues.
while posting to this forum is great...its not like having someone looking over my shoulder guiding me.
at times it seems nothing is happening and then an image comes thru.
mayb i have issues expecting my input to happen right away when I need to wait....
However, i have read that GIMP can take up lot of RAM...
my macbook air early 2013 with iOS v 10.10.5.....
processor: 1.6Ghz intel core i5
memory: 8gb 1600 Mhz ddr3
just clicked on 'activity monitor' just found out about it... not that i understand what all this means..but may help!!
physical me: 8gb
memory used: 3.3gb......app mem-1.75gb/ wired mem-1.05gb/ compressed mem-536.1mb
cache: 2.39gb
swap used: 719.5gb
hope this info helps if I need to change or monitor settings.
tho that is not going to help me figure out how to use GIMP
lol lol lol
