You need the GIMP for Windows installation tool. It is available at http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net. I don't use the GIMP on Windows, so I'm not able to offer installation help.

Well I work in the high-end film/animation industry and we use Gimp and FilmGimp quite a bit.

I use OpenOffice (NeoOffice/J) variant under OS X most of the time, but also under Linux (Gentoo).

I was a Photoshop user from the beginning, the beginning. I have worked for many years in concert with Adobe, but about a decade ago I just couldn't see a reason to continue. After PDF tech started rolling I walked away with the realization that something better will always be available. All the really great stuff that makes Photoshop is present in Gimp and in truth nothing of the nonsense that is indeed unnecessary. Photoshop 4.0 was the last version you ever needed to have.

Another tremendously amazing tool for graphics is Zbrush. Not OpenSource, but amazing tool.

That's just my view, but the cost of some software has far outstripped it's usefulness.

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?
