Could someone post where I can download GIMP? I've scoured the intarwebs looking for it.

GTK+ 2.0 runtime environment was not found on your computer. GTK+ Runtime Environment version 2.4.14 or newer is required to use The Gimp. You can download GTK+ 2.0 runtime environment from <http://gimp-win.sf.net/>.
Please install GTK+ before running the Gimp setup again.
· 1024x768 or greater resolution is recommended to run The Gimp.
· The Setup detected that your CPU has HyperThreading enabled. This is known to cause lockups with certain buggy BIOSes. If GIMP appears to hang up while loading extension_script_fu, try to either upgrade your BIOS or disable HyperThreading in the BIOS setup.
Consult your motherboard's manual for more information on how to upgrade the BIOS or how to disable HyperThreading.

If this is the first time you're installing The GIMP, you will also need GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment below.

GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment (version 2.8.18, for Windows 2000 and newer) 4993 kB
This package is required to run The GIMP on Windows 2000 and newer. If you have older version of Windows, install GTK+ 2.6 instead.

You have to pay attention and actually read things sometimes...
I'm guessing you installed it from the link Jello sent you.

Right below that, it says

My guess is, you should probably try to install that first.

Actually, it's not my guess. You MUST download and install GTK +2 Runtime before you can install gimp.

Ok, Ok, I downloaded everything and it's working. But how the heck do you use it? I'm confused!

EDIT: Nevermind, I figure out how to use it.

what's gimp?

O_______o

It's a very awesome, free photo-manipulation progam that beats the pants off paint.

Any other drawing progam beats the pants off paint.

Except for that one Strongfan made.

Oh snapgangstaburninsultizzle.

(this is the closest I could find to a Gimp Thread so...)

Does anyone know what tool I can use to make perfect circles like Paint can?

GIMP is Great!!

....

THAT IS UNTIL IT CAUSES MY COMPY TO CRASH!

LIKE EVERY FREAKING TIME I EVER TRIED TO USE IT, THAT IS!!

Back in my day, we use'ta BUY photo editing software.
No seriously, ya know how much Macromedia Fireworks cost?

How much? (*gets killed by Alberto as he exclaims, "IT WAS A RETORHICAL QUESTION!!!11*)

It crashes your computer? O.O

You need a better computer then.

GIMP occasionally crashes for me, but it just closes the program. o_o

In the future, PLEASE( x 20000000) read the directions before you ask for help. Most people aren't willing to help you if you can't be bothered to read what is right in front of you. This goes for everyone! Nobody's going to hold the fact that you didn't read some website on page 47 of you google search results, but, please, at least read the help file and the FAQ first. Well, Seethroo will, but he's like Jack Bauer crossed with a ninja, so we really can't control what he does.

Okay guys, I need help. You see my avatar? I made it transparent, but it looks like it has a light blue background to me. BUT, Ju Ju claims it looks transparent to him. I'm using IE, btw. I've made images transparent in the GIMP before without any problems, so I dunno what it is. Could someone explain what the crap is going on? (oh, the the image is a PNG, if that changes anything) EDIT: addtionaly, is there a way to improve the quality of an image? it looks all...fuzzy now.

Oho, I suspected something like that. Thanks, Al. I'm changing my av now. Does anyone know how to improve the quality, though?

While you're stretching out the elipse, hold down shift (it makes the elipse stay a circle). When you've drawn out the circle you want, go to "edit", then Stroke Selection. Hit "stroke" to draw the elipse. You can play with the options to make things work out the way you want.

Dell Inspiron, P4 2ghz processor with 1 gig memory. Point is, the program is so unstable I can't even make decent use of it. Therefore, I'll just stick with good ol' MS Paint. Cheap, but reliable.
