Eh Gimp. I am not a fan. Its very basic and only a little more advanced than paint. Adobe offers thirty day trials for all their products. Download photoshop and be amazed. Also if you know how to crack it, do so as it is insanely priced (Even as a student I cannot get cs5 extended for less than 600 bucks).
