gimil works well graphically but it has several spelling and grammar bugs - I would advise waiting for a version with these fixed.
Don't now why people on here don't like being cooks, remember under siege: A former SEAL, now cook, is the only person who can stop a gang of terrorists when they sieze control of a US Navy battleship.

I would like help with Gimp as well; I'm currently using Photoshop 7.0 to try my hand at a map because I have no clue how to use Gimp.

Perhaps studying may be a good idea :P

Also would you school server allow students to download software? Mines didnt :(

technically speaking, no we cant download stuff, but there are ways around the firewall. as a last resort, i could always download it at home, and put it on a flashdrive.

I'm using Photoshop CS2 for my image editing. I'm very familiar with the interface, and doing all the graphics effects I want is do-able. If you can get your hands on an academic version of Photoshop Elements, you'll likely get a good bit of software for cheap.

And if the paragraph above didn't make it clear, I have zero experience with Gimp. :D
