> BEWARE of the site as it is slimey! I was on it and it looked a bit cheesy so I looked up gimpshop in Wikipedia to find out that this other site is owned by a squatter who is ripping off the creator of gimpshop and effectively discouraging him from further developing the software (from Wikipedia entry): “I originally created Gimpshop, but I'm not the jerk who owns that domain and added adware & spyware to the source.

Technically, this has nothing to do with writing code. Get some experience under your belt with the same tools that designers use. Expand your skillset by getting comfortable with a real graphics editor. It'll be painful at first, but spend the time to work past the learning curve. Whatever you do, try to wean yourself off crappy graphics tools like Paint. For tips on getting started, browse through this list of graphics software tutorials. Fortunately, you'll typically only need to use a fraction of the functionality of these programs. To get a taste of how complex graphics can be, browse through Ars Technica's Photoshop CS3 review.

I'm a Paint Shop Pro man myself, but there's a broad equivalency between these programs for the type of basic graphic work that most programmers would need. And I will add this one warning: although GIMP is both free and powerful, the interface is so excruciatingly difficult to use that by the time you become proficient, you'll be able to handle any graphics editor on the market with ease. No, I won't include Microsoft Paint in this list. Most of all, I believe every software developer should have basic competence in a common graphics editor.
But developers should understand the essentials of graphics editing, such as the difference between JPG and PNG, or vector graphics as represented in the Canvas tag, SVG, and XAML. You can't reinvent yourself as a designer overnight. There's a lot of useful cross-pollination going on between developers and designers. Although they are very different skillsets, it's important for developers to have some rudimentary design skills, and vice-versa. One lesson I took from MIX is that software development and graphic design are increasingly interrelated disciplines.
