Image editing software

Al Hart

Does anyone have recommendations for "poor man's" image editing.

I am thinking of looking at Gimp. Has anyone used it?

How about other possibilities?

there's Paint.Net a free Photoshop-like editor. very useful and capable.

I've used The Gimp. It's very good, but it a separate window for the toolbar and one for the image window. That's massively irritating IMO and one of the major reasons I removed it from my computer.

As well as the already suggested Paint.net, have a look at artweaver and Project Dogwaffle.

I've used GIMP as well. I think it seems to have the most capabilities but it's a bit tricky to get the hang of. If you can get away with using paint.net I'd suggest that as it's easier to work with. However, it does have it's limitations (wish I could remember specifics but it's been awhile since I've used it).
