I use GIMP too, so I'm actually really excited to see how you work with it. My questions are pretty general, so I hope that's okay. When I use GIMP, I have a hard time keeping things looking as smooth and crisp as they seem to with PS, starting even from the resizing step. So, I'm especially wondering how you resize, color, and possibly smooth/sharpen so that your icons don't seem to lose quality or have added graininess. I'd also love to hear anything you have to say about texture usage.
