Hi, just wondering if I could get some feedback on GIMP, was looking around for some free online software and GIMP seemed to stand out, would jump on PhotoShop if it wasn't so pricey and plus I'm still in the learning stages so didn't see much point of grabbing that just yet, cheers.

Searching the forum I found a link for PhotoShop CS2? Have downloaded that and registered, will have more of a look tonight.

In the right bottom corner where it says 'Layer', is that the function to use when making images like where the engine of a car can be seen in the images without lifting the bonnet? Two photos are taken and layered together right? I'm obviously a noob, be kind to me, ha.
