GIMP is basically an open source imaging program that allows you to work with layers and such, much like the payware ones. I figure since I'm only using it for a hobby that the price was worth it. (open source = free).
I'm on version 2.10.22, but it may be newer by now.
With regards to the images, I meant how to take them. Eventually I figured it out a little while ago when I started seeing several "bmp" files in the main SH4 directory that weren't there before.
I never would've thought that was the location that Ctrl+F11 would place them. I thought it was going to the save folder with the other stuff you save in-game.
Live and learn.
I'll post something once I clean them up.
