would it be posible to leave some Coments in one of the next shows what grafictablett is nice for gimp. Maybe the advantages or disadvanteges of such hardware.

1) to get a symmetrical curve, you need to make the handles for two adjoining nodes parallel. If they come straight away from the segment (i.e. perpendicular), and are the same length, you get a nice semi-circular curve.
2) As you explain in the episode, holding shift while dragging a handle makes it’s mirror handle symmetrical so the curve is smooth. But you can add fine tuning by changing the LENGTH of the handle. As long as the ANGLE is the same as its partner, the curve will remain smooth, but one side will be shallower than the other.
3) When stroking paths that contain sharp angles, don’t forget the thickness of the line when setting up your path. A sharp angle’s vertex will jut out significantly past a similarly lined-up straight line. You can see this happen in the first shape I draw in my ambigram video.
4) You can join two nodes temporarily to move several disconnected paths at once, then remove the joining segments when placed.
5) Stroking along paths using different brushes or lines thicknesses and colours, each on thier own layer, can be used to make some excellent lighting/shadow effects. And because you are simply stroking over a path, it is fairly non-destructive, so… experiment!

My content aside, that was one of my favourite episodes to date. Thanks for letting me get involved!

@w_nightshade: I hope you are not too mad about me because your video is reduced to an intermezzo. (But your pachkage has been downloaded 50x already.)

You can see a similar technique with Photoshop’s pen-tool (found no GIMP counterpart in the following video (start at 1:20): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn2JZMG2t1Y
