Here is an email I got from my mother: --
Scott – I was looking online at drawing techniques when I found that someone recommended GIMP. GIMP is which is supposed to be an open source image editing software that is a free alternative to Adobe Photoshop and other commercial applications – generally used by Linux users. Have you heard of it? When I went to the website it directed me to another website where I had do some programing after I downloaded it. Mom wikiHow – install GIMP first website http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ second website http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ -- She's not a sophisticated computer user (though she has done graphic design). I believe she just failed to download gimp entirely and instead got lost on the page's md5 sums and references to source code, never actually seeing the small download link after the first block of text. I would suggest instead of having the link she needs to click be titled "HTTP" there instead be a clickable obvious button of some sort with active verbs, like "Download Gimp for Windows". A larger icon to set it apart might also help. Thanks, Scott Ritchie _______________________________________________ gimp-web-list mailing list gimp-web-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-web-list
