I just downloaded The GIMP and am now trying to get a feel for it... It's my first REAL image manipulation programme and I know NOTHING about it! It takes me ages just to do some lights and contrasts, which is kinda boring, honestly. Its the first time I'm actually reading tutorials and tips and stuff, usually I just find it all out myself, but somehow I get the feeling that the Gimp can do too much to do it this way.

I'm also completely crazy about 'Elizabeth - the Golden Age', I can't wait to see it! So I use those few pics I have for practice.
