Anything else you'd like to learn?
Your tutorials haven't helped me nearly as much as they did with factions for Leaderhead Editing. I think it'd be a cool skill to have, and useful for factions.
So basically, I'd like to learn to PhotoShop and image in GIMP. (GIMPing isn't a thing yet, I believe)

Yeah, I do like to 'shoop photos. And my earlier... attempt was super crappy compared to yours.
Your edits, gonna point out the talents, actually make them look like they're wearing headsets/glasses/crowns. The only part I got right IMO is the crown. And thats just a white line with minor blurring on the edges.

Hmmm.  I've never thought about it in a systematic way - but some basic observations would be that you gotta think about where the light's coming from, and thus, which way the shadows fall - photos are higher rez than anything you can draw, so copy/pasting tiny bits to fill in gaps is essential - and the very edges of a figure blends ever so slightly with the background, so mastery of the Smudge tool is going to be needed.

If you presented something you wanted to alter in a specific way, I could probably tell you more.  We do that enough times, and you'll get it licked.  You've demonstrated that...

Since I'd hate to kill the bad pap crap innocence here, I'll find something else. Just one issue - I'm going to the craptop for a couple days tomorrow.
Going to delete the gimp folder and probably reinstall it manually, then maybe it'll work.

This is the most basic thing I could find. Would make a nice learning template.

But probably too easy.

What you did to Gwilly's avatar.
I want to make it look like a talent from SMAC.

If I'm not mistaken, the Talent headset is white. But this is just practice anyway.
