[Gimp-user] Need help with jpg-cannot get it to work..

[theweblady <forums gimpusers com>]

Hi Rick,
I have never used gimp before-only photoshop so this is my first project with
it.
Plus there is no manual for this version so I have no instructions-
im feeling a bit like a fish out of water..
I have heard such great things about gimp but I am totally lost-
could you help with this and show me how to get it to look the way I need?

thanks!
