Ach... beaten by 2 minutes.. to say exactly the same thing :D

I think there's version 2 out there too...
All the stuff you should need I think is
Here (http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tag=srch&qt=gimp&tg=dl-20&search.x=16&search.y=11&search=+Go%21), just remember you may have to install the GTK runtime libraries part too so that it will work.. (everything should be on this page..)


:D

I'm still a huge Paintshop Pro fan - been using for 10 years or something! Not free though... well not unless.... <cough>.

Got to be quicker off the mark mate ;)

I should have mentioned about the install - read all the bumf beforehand to make sure you get everything, but it's pretty straightforward. It's not a download and click setup.exe type package, but it's free so you have to expect to do some of the work!
