I'm not talking about restoring photos. I'm talking about professional digital art creation kind of stuff, where PS is indeed the best. For most things most people do, I agree GIMP is absolutely fine.

I think you are being a bit unfair to those that teach graphic design in PS. I have found video tutorials etc to be very helpful but that does not negate professional help.
I admit I have a bias. I took a couple of classes ut each one was taught by men that did not know as much as I did and that ended my pursuit of higher education about software and it's usage. I just cannot get past the idea that a professor must know enough that we, at least, share information.
And any college should never hire any instructor without certain standards being met but with the general dumbing down of the Americas that appears to be getting lost.

Today,even Bible Teachers that do not believe the scriptures "are" the Word of God are teaching and they are pastors in churches near the schools. My first instructor in Basic Software did not even know Q-Basic but I needed the course if I were to be licensed and at that time, in the late nineties I wanted the license. In my next and following class the Proff did not know that a Disassembler existed to take programes apart, fix and reassemble. I used one, almost every weekend at the time to fix errors in individual's programs in the late seventies and up until I quit messing with the errors of programmers. Learning from research and no9t even employed by the industry I was disillusioned, immediately, because these "men of knowledge" were teaching our future IT Staff?

I turned out much like my favorite it, who heads the staff of a large company, I just plunged in and forgot the license. Billy, later took the test and left me behind but he was dragged kicking and screaming into the windoze world. He still runs his desk top with a Linux flavor to repair the clerk staff's units, but?
 
I would like to find a program between Paint and Photoshop too. I also don't trust downloading software from random sites, my computer got a virus that way once.

If you download it from www.gimp.org you will get a clean copy. Anywhere else and who knows? If you ever get tired of paying for a system that is perpetually broken and costs a fortune to purchase and then pay through the nose to protect, download Virtual Box, only, from virtualbox.org, install it and download a fresh copy of Linux Mint and install from the iso file directly into VBox and test it for you to consider using. It is one great Linux System for windoze users but you do not need to install antivirus and over forty thousand business grade programs are free.
 
I was happy with the progress i was making .. reading you 2 pushed me to GIMP now i can stop... IF everyone else can blame Bush i can blame you guys :hips

Haha, well paint.net is fine for what you need, but GIMP is also good.

And I blame all Republicans ;)

NO< NO< NO! Eora tried to stop you, LOL! You are not guilty Eora.
 
GIMP rules. And few of us will need anything it can't do. When retouching photos, layers might be a good way to go, blending layers can often be more effective and more subtle than just one retouched layer.
 
I am trying to lean how to use layers... .. my mind works best with hands on so it is a slow go... read then fail read then fail really getting good at the fail part... :wall
