    Gimp is a wellknown free program to paint in indeed :)
    I never used it myself but hear good reviews about it ^^ I personally use photoshop (which you can get for free though it aint legal)b:avoid

    another program I liked to use for a while is artrage. It's got an easy interface and some nice tools :)

    GIMP is free and nearly as powerful as photoshop, but it's harder to learn (PS has a better designed UI).

    gimp does have an easy to access help center.....when your in the program, just press f1and you're connected....plus you can chose the language the help comes in...

    Adobe has the worst help function ever.. gotta give you that one... it's REALLY bad.. you're better off trying out everything to see what stuff does... (which I always do anyway when I start using a diff program xD )
