Good afternoon,

I just downloaded GimpShop this afternoon and I am finding it very confusing, of course, as there is so much to it. One of the things that confuses me is that I don’t know if I have the right version for my computer. I ran across something on your website that says make sure you have the right version. I have Windows 7. How can I find out if I have the right version or not? I have already “ghosted” a photograph so I am wondering if that means I do have the right version?

When I click on the Help button, I get a message saying GNU Image Manipulation Program Plug-In has stopped working. It searches for a solution and then tells me the Plug-In crashed. I have tried it several times and keep getting the same message.

I use photos from My Pictures as stationery in Thunderbird. Sometimes they have too many very dark and very light colors in them to be used for a one color font, of course, so I like to ghost them. GimpShop changes them from jpeg I think and then Thunderbird can’t recognize. Is there any way to get them back into jpeg format so I can use them for stationery?

I thought you had a forum and thought I had joined it and it turned out to be a Gimp user list. I am not sure what that is. I was just looking for a place to ask questions like these. I am not terribly computer literate so often don’t understand what I am being told to do by the instructions and don’t even know what a lot of the terms refer to. I would appreciate any help if you can.

Thank you,
