The GIMP is a great tool, you should try it.

Agreed

Ackshooly, I prefer my old, old copy of Paint Shop Pro (v 7.00). Does everything one would want done to bitmap images easily. Resizing, changing # of colors, adjusting colors, etc.

Sure,... but it isn't Free, GIMP IS, so is realistically, pretty Damn excellent value, to say the least

It is rather heavy though, the installer weighs in at 330 MB. The Gimp2 folder in Program Files. Weighs in at 1.16 GB.     But yes, I really like some of its features.

 I also have and use Photoshop CS2 (Which has some features too that I really like, that GIMP does not.) Which, when purchased was very very expen$ive, but I had a goood paying job when I bought it back in 2006. And it too, is no lightweight. installer weighs 340 MB, with the folder in Pgram Files (x86) weighing in just over that at 356 MB. Not bad compared with gimp.

Now, adobe and other major software vendors, is all about 'cloud computing'. I don't even know if they still use real software that actually and fully resides on a users computer. And the cost for photoshop these days??? Forget it, prolly through the roof.[/rant]

But yes, I like GIMP for some of its features that I don't think Photoshop has, or at least I haven't found em.

And usage of either of those compared to the other, Is like Chinese versus Hungarian. No offense intended to either of those populations or countries.

I'll try to extract a .bmp from my code that you can experiment with.

Any progress with that?
