Has anyone on this list tried The Gimp on Windows 2000? If so, is it OK?
Yes - goes well, and its a metric truckload cheaper than photoshop etc.
Its a non-intuitive way to access all the menus though... students etc don't think of the right mouse button.
Also, I haven't found the sharpen filter, or how to rotate an image by a numeric amount, or how to reassign the keypresses to a photoshop arrangement.... but that holds in windows and linux versions :)
Right-click on the image then go Filters -> Enhance -> Sharpen...
To rotate a block or an entire image select it, right-click on the image then go Tools -> Transform Tools -> Transform, or just hit Shift-T. You can then adjust via the dialog box or via left-click and hold on the image...
Not sure about changing the keypresses, but normal convention of Ctrl-X for Cut...Ctrl-V for paste etc...still holds for many things.
Hope this helps....
Kind regards,
