There's a Windows version of Gimp? From what I've heard Gimp is crap (chatrooms on AIM :\). I will check it out, or just cave and do something else.

First, I can attest that The Gimp does not suck. Its every bit as good as photohop, PSP, and the like. However, after reading your post I have come to think that The Gimp is not exactly what you are looking for. It is much more complicated than m$paint. I will somthing different to you now: Kpaint. Its very very simple, and should be exactly the type of app. that you want to use. However, like The Gimp, there is no windows version. You did know that these are the Microsoft Eradication Society Forums didn't you. If your only interested in Windows apps, you're probably better off looking somewhere else.

What? There *IS* a Windows version of The GIMP. See for yourself. The GIMP is not as good or better than Adobe Photoshop...not by a longshot.
The GIMP doesn't even have CMYK support. The GIMP is merely a toy.

that's a bit too harsh. I agree, it's not as good as photoshop, but as an RGB image editor, it's fantastic!
You CAN do anything you can do with Photoshop in the GIMP when it comes to "fotr screen" work. You don't need fancy filters, and any designer worth his salt will tell you that filters are for amatures and grandmas.
So ya, GIMP is great for RGB work. But for pro. web development and print graphics, I have to agree with Zombie4654564 it's deiffinetly very underdeveloped.
Tho I think even Zombie will agree that for a free program, it's pretty darn good, and way the hell better than M$Paint.
Doctor V:
I take it back, I though it didn't run on windows. :eek: All that fancy filter stuff is way beyond me. To a non-artist, they are the same. Gimp gets the job done for me at least. I don't think Kpaint runs on windows, so you still should still make the switch. Kpaint should come with any Linux that has KDE (most of them do).

I'm sorry but this is just absolutley crazy, as has been said this IS The Microsoft Eradication Society. This site is not here to support or even condone the use of Microsoft products, full stop. It is not here as a forum for M$ technical support of which it seems to require a lot. The answear is simple don't even touch Microsoft products, in doing so you are supporting them and their tactics. If you must taint yourself with M$ crap and have a problem go to a board were peole give a fuck about M$Paint. Not here :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
