Re: digital photography software GIMP

www.kevinkienlein.com enlightened us with:
On the second link you provide it says, "If this is the first time
you're installing The GIMP, you will also need GTK+ 2 Runtime
Environment below. ", however it does not have any instructions on
what installs first, second, do you put it all in a folder, etc...

If you download both, you'll get two ZIPs that contain two .exe files.
Run the GTK+ one first, then the GIMP one.

for non-programmers like myself it is not very user intuitive to install

It's not that difficult, really. Maybe you should use Linux instead -
then you can simply go to your package manager and say "install gimp".
Then it'll take care of itself, look for a suitable place to install,
and install GTK+ without even bothering you about it.
