GIMP is the free open source software for image manipulation.It can be used like any photo manipulation software for works like resizing, editing and cropping photos, combining multiple images, and converting between different image formats. GIMP can also be used to create basic animated images in the GIF format. Motto for GIMP is to become a high-end graphics application for the editing and manipulation of images, icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface elements.

In my personal opinion GIMP is comparable with adobe photoshop.we can do almost everything that in GIMP that can be done with photoshop.It has all the features provided by photoshop under different name and menus.And most importantly GIMP is free even though most of us use the pirated version of photoshop.I will be posting a few illustrations of this in my upcoming posts.We dont need to spend 100′s of dollars for it .It is free unlike the Adobe Photoshop.It is definitely becoming better after different versions.
