GIMP is an Open Source Image Editing Software package. It runs on most Windows platforms and on Mac using OS-X with X11. After three years of use I can say that the X11 environment does not add any complexity or issues.
Since it is Open Source GIMP is FREE for the user and users may add functionality. GIMP recognizes over forty different file formats in its base installations. You can add additional capabilities from the GIMP Registry web site referenced below.
The native GIMP file format is XCF and if you do not choose a different format it will default to this format. In addition GIMP offers a native compressed XJT format and pattern PAT format. It also works with RAW, TIF, TIFF , JPEG and PNG to mention a few.It will allow you to open a Nikon NEF format and save it as RAW or TIFF.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
