I have recenly down loaded GIMP. Has any one heard of this program and if so any one have tutorials? I am so new to this, I have no clue how to work it! LOL

I have used it off and on for years. For me, it is much more stable and about twice as fast as the PaintShopPro XI thing I foolishly bought last year---have dumped that and gone back to GIMP. I use the old RSE for RAW usually, but sometimes use UFRaw which works in GIMP.

GIMP can't use 16 bits images as I recall, the unsharp filter is not the best, and the interface can be a bit clumsy. But you can do a lot with it and can't beat the price.

I've been using the Gimp for quite a while now. It's got it's limitations (8 bit color instead of 16, no adjustment layers (but both of those are in the works)) but for most things it works great.

There are a number of tutorials out there for it, but most of the things I've found are more geared to creating cool text effects and such, and not photo manipulation. There is a pretty new video podcast called Meet the Gimp that judging from the first half dozen episodes looks like it's going to be all about working on photos.

Gimp for Linux at 2.4 now has color management. Regrettably the windows version at 2.2X does not. I really do need color management. Once the Windows version catches up to the Linux version I'll try it again.

2.4 isn't actually out. What's out is 2.4rc1 (release candidate) think of it more as a beta leading up to 2.4 actually releasing... The are generally only official windows binaries for the "stable" track, but you can get windows downloads for the "development" track (i.e. 2.3 up through 2.4rc1 so far) at Downloads - gimpusers.de The site is in german, but that's the download page, and the links are pretty obvious.
