I've just downloaded it and set it up on my computer so I'm a freaking newb at it all, if you got a useful tutorial link that YOU HAVE USED please post the link. :)

Gimp? What's that?

A free photoshop program, I found some good tutorials.

Nice find on that site. I just got it compiled and installed about a week ago and haven't really messed with it yet. I'll definately have to check out that site.

So... it's like photoshop?

Without all the great plugins. Up to you to find the right plugin and stuff, hehe.

that's why I prefer Photoshop, still, it's better than Paint

Well if you don't care to spend a bunch of money then go for photoshop. Still could use some tutorial links though.
