    After I download GIMP, how do I open it? I can't find it in my downloads or anywhere else.
    Community Answer
    Re-download GIMP. If you are using Explorer, you can choose where to save GIMP. Choose an easy place like desktop. If you are using Chrome, go into Google Chrome downloads and click on the link to take you to the folder it downloaded in.

  • Question
    What should I do if I don't have an applications folder on my iPad in order to install GIMP?
    Community Answer
    iPads cannot run GIMP because GIMP is for computers, but there are plenty of alternatives. Adobe Photoshop is the most popular alternative, but it's not free. So if you're looking for free software, you could try Pixlr or Polarr.
