Gimp, gimpshop or paint.net?
Can someone tell me which is better and why maybe compare the three. I need it to make posters and want to have some nice effects to make the posters look the best. Thank you.

I like GetPaint.net, but I have both free and paid programs (Corel, Xara, Zoner, Swish, CoffeeCup). Zoner has a free version that is super: http://www.zoner.com/

If you want to make a poster, perhaps Scribus is a better fit for your needs:

Gimp and Gimpshop are actually the same program, Gimpshop has just been made to look more like Photoshop, so that users can transition from Photoshop to Gimp more easily. Paint.NET and Gimp are both fine programs. Just try them both and see which you like better.

Here you can find a free download of GIMP: [link]
GIMP is a free program you can use for a bunch ot tasks like photo retouching, image authoring and image composition. In my opinion it is the best free photo editing software on the market. It's not as powerful as photoshop, but it's free and can be augmented with plugins and extensions. These features make it the most advanced free photo-retouching software. GIMP can be used as a simple paint program or a complex image-manipulation software (thanks also to to a very advanced scripting interface)

You need to download the version that will run on your operating system. Also, i'm pretty sure you need to select a mirror site right before you download. I use easynews b/c its closest to me.
