Marian thoroughly and succinctly leads you through the steps of downloading for a PC and introduces a few of the Gimp tools. I was not previously familiar with Gimp, but it's good to know that this free image manipulation software is out there. I wonder how powerful it really is... is it a viable free option to compete with photoshop? And is it available for Mac? I think I will have to investigate further.

This question came up, and yes, Gimp is also available for Linux and Macintosh as well as for Windows. It's about as powerful as photoshop, anyway some of the professional tools like CMYK color management for print may be missing.
