Thanks for the info. As soon as I get my internet working at home, I intend to download the program and try it out. It would be great if I could use the program to illustrate books, make prints of my art work and design the covers on my cds. Do you know if I would be able to upload photographs into it and work with them? Hi. Thanks for the info.

Have you tried GIMP? I did, it didn't work very well on Windows, but it works great on my installation of PCLinuxOS. This looks like it could be a viable option for free image editing.

If you find one that it doesn't, there's a link on the product page to the available plugins. Lots of tutorials too. :smile: <br /> @Matthew: Haven't tried using Gimp. I heard it was pretty good but a little unstable. Hmm kinda sounds like us buddy :lol: @magsburg:

I wouldn't call it unstable, but I'd be the first to admit it's low on the user-friendly side. I used to use Photoshop back in the day, but my career path changed and it dropped on the side. I was pleased to find Gimp come along, but I have to say that judging from the screenshot alone, it looks like it may be a better alternative because one of my biggest gripes with Gimp is that the palettes are treated like windows that go behind the active window you're in. Drives me crazy! Hehe...it's funny you post this one because I was going to write something about Gimp in the very near future. :smile: I’ve been using Gimp for a while now.

I remember back in the day when Photoshop could easily fit on a few floppy disks. Now it's ballooned to well over a couple hundred megs. Yet, here's a free program in Paint.net that boasts a lot of the same features whose file size is just a tiny fraction of what Photoshop's is. Amazing :P It kinda makes you wonder just what the heck Adobe is stuffing into all those bits and bytes.
