Thanks Jason for the information. It sounds like GIMP is worth a try 
........

but I can't open it after downloading it. I feel like so many of 
the first time users of OOo.

I have received a 19,714kb file (which, by the way, seems too small?) 
for the file: <2.2.8.tar.gz>
but it is an unknown file to my XP system. Also, the information on the 
GIMP homepage is for you folks who speak computer. I don't understand a 
bit of it.

Does anyone know what I might do here to install this file?
