[size=100]Hello,

I have just downloaded my GIMP program onto my desktop. When I attempt to retrieve an image from my computer, nothing happens. I see my hard drive listed;pictures file listed; but nothing happens. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks

We you go to File> Open New, look at the bottom of the pop up window. It should have an option to Show all files. Click to check and it will show the hidden files.

Look at this link https://gimpnewby.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_38.html particularly the fourth image down

Once you find and view your picture are you clicking 'open'?
