I desperatlely want to upgrade to a better program!(than paint anywayXD)but guess what?
my mum doesn't allow me to download!!! But...she has got someone at work who may be giving me an art upgrade.Oh i hope he does upgrade it!I'm getting sick and tired of boring old paint. I hope its something like photoshop!

Your telling us this why?

I'm just saying that i would DEFINATLEY download this if i was allowed.

That is what I use.

I have used gimb a little bit before. it is good program. i would use it if i didn't already have a paid program. I use paint shop pro photo x2. good program. and cheaper than photoshop, and i am more familiar with it

and another good free program (maybe not as good as gimp, not sure) is Paint.Net. the URL is (easy one) http://www.paint.net/

i have had it before and used it, but i have uses PSP the most.

Thanks for the tip downloading Gimp now. Great to find a free pic editing tool

Do you need internet to use it though? Cause if I put it on the family computer my mother will be extremely mad...

Not if you download GIMP. Once it's on your computer, it works like MS Paint(no internet required to open/use it).

Gimp is not a virus, and Macs don't don't get viruses, not very easily anyway xD. Most viruses are in a .exe file, which is a Windows file. Mac uses a .dmg file.

Gimp shouldn't give your computer a virus. I downloaded it and it didn't give my PC one. Just download Gimp from the link Steet has given. However, make sure you download it properly though.

It might be different for a different computer service or whatever you use. But really it shouldn't, not that I've experienced anyway. If you download it safely and properly, you should have no problems.

Yes, that is a safe source, the official Gimp site links to that site.

As Mighty said, it has a link to the official Gimp site. So that should be fine. You shouldn't have any problems with that one.
