GIMP softaware is outstanding! I am here to warn you about "Think All Publishing." They are the ones who developed GIMP and they are rip-off artists by offering thier "free CDs...They took $50.00 from me under false pretences. It is a very underhanded way of getting a person to pay for the GIMP. My only suggestion is for you to download GIMP but, if you receive ANY e-mail from "Think All Publishing", immediately delete it without opening the e-mail. I have filed many complaints against this company and ask that all who read this thread, spread the word of caution throughuot the photo community!
