Thank you! Photoshop is actually easier to use for masking than GIMP plus you can rotate the image a do a lot more cool stuff. It is just a lot harder for me to use now because I don't have a modern version of Windows and generally only use Linux. I've not been into doing things as much anymore and have kind of forgotten a lot of the shortcuts. You really can't beat GIMP's price though and hopefully they will continue developing it. I'm actually a few versions down and have to check out the latest GIMP version.
