I can just let you all know that GIMP is a load of crap. It is not good enough to even compare to PhotoShop. I have tried using it, but it just won't work. I can't get the fonts to load or the brushes. And even an online second look alike to photoshop, Pixlr, is way better than GIMP. GIMP for one doesn't have the *pointer* to let you move the render you are using, it just won't let you do that.

Well, I need to know if there is a way to download all the things needed for the 30 day trial thingy so I can get the full version without worrying about it expiring.

Well if you're an expert Gimp user you can make great stuff, I have a friend who can do better things with Gimp than I can with PS.

Every statement in here? COMPLETELY FALSE.
The fonts and brushes are packaged differently. To use them, you'll have to export them into the GIMP format. There's probably a program or a tutorial somewhere that allows you to do that.
To move it? Find the move tool. It's VERY hard to find that, indeed it is. I mean, one little icon and it's super hard to find, despite it being RIGHT THERE IN THE TOOLBOX. (Or just press M.) If you still can't move renders, that's your fault and not the program's.
Paint.NET, well, on first glance it looks very clean, cleaner than GIMP (which isn't very hard to do, considering GIMP's priority is its features and not its GUI) but it only works on Windows. I support GIMP for its multi-platform and open-source nature, over Paint.NET's .NET nature, limiting it to Windows, and Photoshop's incredibly high price (which, oddly enough, I can afford).
Late-night rants make me all angry, and then they make me feel tired, so my train of thought's broken and anything I was trying to say I forgot. If I was sounding rude, I apologize, because it's late and I need sleep.

I used to use GIMP a lot before I moved to PS Elements and even though I use Elements more because of its simplicity and faster loading time I still support GIMP, which wasn't even created for Windows to start with, yet still does a very good job of an alternative to Photoshop.


tl;dr: Don't hate the program, hate the user.
Fifteen, there's still time for you.
Twenty-two, I feel her too.
Thirty-three, you're on your way.
Every day's a new day.
