Cartoonize A Photo With Gimp

Layer->Duplicate Layer
Select the new layer, the Filters->Edge-Detect->Edge, select Sobel, Amount
should be 2.0, and Black should be checked.
Invert the edge-mask layer ... it's in Layers->Colors->Invert
Back in the Layers Dialog, change the Layer Mode to Divide

Play around with Layer mode settings.  Desaturate the top layer, blue or
otherwise mess up the bottom layer.

Add different fonts to the Gimp

Gimp uses fonts from the fontconfig program.

So simply put the new fonts in your ~/.fonts directory
and then run, as root, dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig.

Mouse double-click in Apple Gimp

If you find that you need to click a window twice to activate it when
moving from window to window in Apple Gimp, then open a terminal and
enter the following:

    defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm true

This will enable "focus follows mouse.  X11 must be restarted for the
change to take effect.
