what do you mean files? If you are running windows, you need to pay a little attention. On the left at www.gimp.org you will see gimp for windows. click that link, and you will be brought to another site that hosts GIMP and the GTK for windows - download both.

Install the GTK and then install the gimp.

You can install gimp on a thumb drive as well. www.portableapps.com has a portable version that does not rely at all on the GTK being nativley installed. GOOD STUFF.

Crap, I see what I did wrong now. I only downloaded the GTK, lol
It's good now, thanks.

This might be a dumb question, but how do I completely cut out the background from a pic?

Like if I was using this pic, how would I get rid of the background so that only Kane is visible?

I'd use the freehand/lasso select tool and draw around him by hand, then copy/paste it to a new image

You can add some fade to the selection border so it'll blend into whatever you're sticking him on top of rather than having a sharp edge

OK, I'll give it a try when I get home later on.

Could someone please tell me how to blend images together so that the foreground image doesn't look like it was just stuck on the background. That would be much appreciated.
