Hi, I was looking for an images program but nothing too heavy like GIMP or Photoshop as I don't have graphics training and wouldn't know where to begin with them. I came across a free package called Paint.Net which seems to target itself to amateur users as an easy to use step up from M$ Paint. Its not affiliated with M$ though. I don't know the website offhand, and don't have internet access here. A quick Google search should call it up. I use it whenever I need to do something now without as intimidated as I did trying to use GIMP, and enjoy learning to use its features.

But there is an open source program that creates flash-based demos of what is on your computer screen, called Wink. http://www.debugmode.com/wink/ > adobe photoshop, imageready The Gimp is a very full featured graphics/photo program. Like Photoshop, it is difficult to learn. http://www.gimp.org/ If you are using Windows and want something easier to use, have a look at PhotoFiltre (which is free for personal use) http://www.photofiltre.com/ Another option if you are using Linux is Krita. This may be available for Windows (along with most of KDE) in the next year or so. http://www.koffice.org/krita/ > illustrator Besides OpenOffice.org Draw (which I find quite good), there is also Inkscape. http://www.inkscape.org/ > Quark/InDesign Scribus is an excellent Linux desktop publishing program that is now also available for Windows. http://www.scribus.net/ There are some ideas to get you started. After a while you'll start wondering what you need Windows for - all of these programs (except Photofiltre) work on Linux.
