Hello everyone. I just signed in to this forum, hoping that I will find useful helps in using GIMP.

I used to use pirated Adobe Photoshop for image editing and making posters. I live in a third-world country where pirated softwares are everywhere and are easier to find than legit ones. One random day, I decided that piracy is wrong (yes, you can call me Captain Obvious by now), so I decided for myself that I should use open source softwares.

I don't oppose closed source/premium softwares, though. I just can't afford them, and I don't think I can afford them for years to come. In the meantime, I will be using GIMP and other open source softwares :)

Since English is not my first language, I might make grammar mistakes. Please be kind and don't be a grammar nazi :p

You may find that not long after you start using Gimp and Inkscape you will delete your pirated photoshop as it will become a waste of diskspace,
welcome to these pages and Enjoy
