Hello everybody,

I'm a retiree, and after years of using Nikon point & shoot software, I've finally taken the plunge and downloaded Gimp. It goes without saying that there will be a learning curve, and any 'easy read' material suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm sure you'll be off and running soon! Gimp is a wonderful program, and it's worth the learning curve as it is such a useful program.
