double post.
MODS /Close Please
I use paint.net and it supports .tga files witout plugins. I think paint.net is better, it has a lot of plugins and is very user friendly.
Paint.Net is, if you will, for beginners.
On the other hand Gimp is for people who want something similar to Photoshop.
Overall as a Photoshop user I recomend Gimp.
