Anyone using GIMP?

I have been playing with GIMP 2.6 and I have really enjoyed using it, particularly as it is freeware. However I have found that any file that I have manipulated, prints on my printer with an awful color cast that I dont experience with PaintshopPro.

Do I need to calibrate it for my printer or something?

I've tried it but couldn't get on with it - guess I could if I gave it enough time..

Re colour, you probably need to change your work space profile. In photoshop it is in edit > colour settings

Re: Anyone using GIMP?

I find it hard to use myself, and far prefer other software. I've never *understood* Gimp
