GNU Image Manipulation Program - Free

My son posted a comment saying that I should have mentioned GIMP in my last post. For those of you that don't know what GIMP is, it is another free image editing program. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. Some nice features about GIMP are that it is open source, cross-platform, flexible and powerful. GIMP is available for free for the Linux, Mac, Unix, and Windows platforms. The downside to GIMP is that it is more difficult to learn. It close to Photoshop in the learning curve, in fact It is a good free alternative to Photoshop. :)
