I would say try the GIMP. Regenmacher has a link in the first post. Although it is a free program, it is a very powerful program, much more so than MS Paint.

Okay, sorry 'bout that.

Download "The GIMP for Windows (version 2.2.14)"

AND

"GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment (version 2.10.6, for Windows 2000 and newer)" (assuming you have WINDOWS XP)

From this page...

gimp-win.sourceforge.net...

The first one is the GIMP Program, the second is necessary runtime files that need to be installed before you can install the GIMP.

Any problems, let us know....

I have successfully downloaded, thanks. Now I have some learning to do.
I had a little play around in it but don't know what everything does.
It seems alot better than deep paint which I downloaded last night, that was just paint with a different name and layout...

Great! It is a nice little program. Once you learn some of the basics, some of the more complicated features will become much easier.

If you need any help using it, post a new thread here in Member Art (don't wnat to tie up this thread with a bunch of "how to's...." )

There are several members that i know of that use GIMP, so I'm sure that someone will be able to help you to sort out the confusion of learning a new program.
