I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the main interest was in photo
editing.  I've made many images from scratch with GIMP but I'm
definitely better at photo editing.  Having said that, I think I could
give a passable presentation on original image creation ... so long as
you don't mind it leaning more to warps and distorts rather than
painting/drawing.  I'll definitely show you how to paint, but I'm not
too good at it so those aren't the techniques I use the most.

So any other preferences one way or the other?  Rather than flood the
list, how about those who care just email me off-list with a short
"photo editing" or "original images" vote please?

If folks are happy with my presentation and enough people want a full
presentation on the other topic, I guess another presentation is
possible - although it sounds like there are topics lined up for quite
a few months.
