Since GIMP is an opensource version of Photoshop it lack a lot of the easier things you can do in PS.

It would be easier in PS imo, I don't use GIMP anymore after I got CS6

Getting Adobe PS CS5 shouldn't be hard if you know where to look


If you want to make a watermark in GIMP without going frame by frame you could try using this script

Here's a couple other scripts for GIMP that might come in handy

Good looks, i'll try that script. Probably better to just get photoshop, I just don't want to have to learn something new. I just learned Gimp like a year and half ago & I'm still learning
