i'd like to download a solid image editing program to get my hands dirty messing with such things, but i don't really feel like waiting through the marathon d/l that is the Adobe Photoshop Demo Version. Does anyone know of a solid program that isn't so huge? i've heard here and there of freeware stuff, but if the best you can give me is the link to the thirty-day trial of program X, that'll do fine.

6 or 7MB, legally free.
Ah, that's the one; many thanks. When i heard about Gimp, i was under the impression that it was Linux-only, so i didn't make any mental note of it.
...i'd be a Linux-user, but i'm so lazily content with Windows. Bad self, bad.
I was surprised with the quality of Gimp. It's actually quite good.
The version that was ported to Windows is the old version though. There's a spiffy new version out now that hasn't made it to Windows yet.
Question 2: Is there any online help documentation for Gimp that you'd particularly recommend? i'm starting to look at the on-site and user-created info listed at the site itself, but hey - there's always the chance that the best online resource out there was overlooked.
