The Gimp does have some issues on Windows, mainly:
● Scanning problems. It refuses to scan from my Microtek Scanmaker 3700.
● No printing option.
● Opens a new Gimp instance for each file you click on the Windows explorer.
Nevertheless, it is a great tool that works well otherwise. For those in a budget who can't
afford Photoshop (would you rather pay for a Photoshop license or a film scanner?) a
great choice is to use a lesser tool for scanning and printing - such as the one that came
with your scanner, in my case, PhotoImpact 4 Lite - and use The Gimp for image
manipulation.
If you're wondering about available tutorials, there's an excelent book titled Grokking
The Gimp available on Amazon.com as well as in digital form.
Give The Gimp a try and save the money for equipment.
