Gimp *woot*

Just the basics

Gimp is an editing & graphics program a bit like Paint Shop Pro but with a plus side... its FREE yes thats right its f-r-e-e no money involved. I started using gimp for this very reason, myy paint shop pro trial had expired and my parents didnt want me to pay for the full version so i surfed the net trying to find another free trial exept after a while i had used all the trials up.....i was beggining to panic when a bebo band was spamming about a skin tutorial site, i decided to check it out and there at the bottom of the page was this little link to download gimp. So i got it and its been great ever since!! Gimp can be downloaded from here for windows users
