What is Gimp?

Many of you may aready know what Gimp is. If you do then I don't think that you need to read futher becuase this post is desinged for those who don't. For you who don't know what gimp is its a open image editing software. Meaning that its free to use, its profesional, and it does a good job of image editing jobs.

If you want to take a glace at it you will find it at, "http://www.wingimp.org" or if you want to get strait down to downloading it go here "http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/"


And for you that wan't it and is also needing help to get it. I have place this link to take you strait to the download. Please not that this first link is not the gimp download, but is a donwload of a gtk enviroment instaler. Your probly thinking, "What do i need that for?". Well to tell you the truth, it has things that gimp needs in order to run. So get both and install the gtk enviroments first befor you install gimp. Please also note that if your download doesn't start shortly after you get to the download page, then you need to click on a new mirror below.

1. install this first! (gtk enviromet install download)
2. then install gimp (gimp install download)

Just to let you know, I'm not realy wanting to spend much time teaching you how to work the software. Unless for very important reasons. Just too much time to teach that stuff, and I don't have much time to spare. If you need help there is the is help on the .org site and there is also the awsome power of the google search. If you can find help ur self, then your a much better cadet. I had to do that! Now because of it I'm able to substain my self and learn real fast.

Did I mention that gimp goes well as a partner to blender? Well it does! And with its pro like sevice, you can make real good textures and image edit's. An old saying say's, "The better the texture, the better looking the product!". Its true! After all we are simulating objects that bounce back light in the real world. And texture is all about simulating bouncing light. Did you know that with texture you can tell what color is, what the smooth-ness or roughn-ess of a surface is, what the material is made of, and\or many other things. As you can see, tex is important when building object that simulate objects that don't exist for the eye to see.

Well! I hope that I was of some help. Enjoy your adventures with gimp.
