If you're not against paying for software, you might have her try out PixelMator <<a href="http://www.pixelmator.com/">http://www.pixelmator.com/</a>>. It's not very expensive ($15?). It is very fast, and uses some of the native graphics libraries in the Mac platform. I've been happy with it. I found the Gimp to be very sluggish, especially when used with my Wacom-compatible tablet. Not so with Pixelmator.<div>

Wife needs photo software and Iphoto has driven her nutz.<br>
The GIMP is available for the Mac. Can anyone tell me how much trouble it is to get it installed?<br>
The download page offers two choices:<br>
1.) .dmg installer from Clayton Walker<br>
2.) a build by Simone Lehmann<br>
Suggestions would be appreciated.<br>
