Anyone heard of the above software? It is basically an open source version of PhotoShop. I have only tinkered but it looks pretty awesome!

    It's been around for a long time. It's not as good as photoshop, but it's about the only next best thing and if you need free it is the best thing. They've also come a long way in the last couple of releases and 2.5 is seeing a pretty nice overhaul to the gui from all current indicators.

    If you've just stumbled upon The Gimp, you should check out Inkscape. It's a free vector drawing based program that works really well.

    ^^ especially since Vector Magic is no longer free.

    Definitely a pretty sweet program. I'm a Photoshop fiend, so, obviously, I prefer Photoshop. But I do use Gimp regularly for Second Life texture design.

    I also second the recommendation to check out Inkscape.
