You can do Nice Icons with MS Paint if you have the talent and Time. But yes I am sure you can do wonderfull stuff in Gimp. I however cant realy help you with that. As I am a Vector man. But if you look around for Photoshop totorails, you should be able to make a translation of most of the tools to Gimp, since they are more simaler in nature then Corel and gimp.

I have to admit that exporting the bitmap is CorelDRAW's weakest link. I have reported several time a few bugs in the exporter that make it almost useless to skinners, and they have not been fixed. However there are several work around. Here are the ways I have found to get the best results. Overall note: When you design set your general DPI to 300, you can do this in the options dialogue. This is important to the way it makes drop shadows and how it exports and
