Used GIMP for a while before I bought/upgraded to Fireworks 8. It's not a bad piece of software if you just need to do something quickly. :)

Not true. I believe that you can do anything you can do in photoshop, in Gimp. It is just there are less tutorials. When I used to be into graphics I would battle photshop users and I could easily win with GIMP.

I have a friend who converted loads of the photoshop tutorials people thought would be impossible.

Most people think I have very good photoshop skills, and the truth is I have only used it once on a friend's pc.

The first two downloads you need. Both the GIMP and the GTK stuff.

If you have come from Photoshop the interface is pretty confusing. Make sure you have created the docks for brushes, layers, patterns, text etc. I don't belive it creates them by default, and I would not use it if they were not open.

Even after you have the docks, if you can't stand the interface try this http://plasticbugs.com/index.php?p=241 . As you can tell by the name, it is just a version of the GIMP where the photoshop interface has been copied.

I personally cannot stand the photoshop interface, and love the GIMP one. I suppose it could take getting used to. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM, I haven't done much heavy work in a while, but I still know what to do.
