I used Gimp for over a year before I bought PSP8. I still use it for some things because I learned Gimp first, so I know how to do things faster there. You really need a paint program that does layers, as in alfa channels. This way you can blend your layered images, such as tiff. and Psd. formats together. Check the link and do yourself a favor, not to mention your hair and D/L Gimp.
