You refer to GIMP occassionally. Can you explain what GIMP does and where I can download the best version from please.
thanks
You can find the GIMP at http://www.gimp.org/ – it’s a photo editing and graphics program like Paintshop Pro or Photoshop. It’s also released under the GPL and available for Linux, Windows and the Mac! You can download it from the site above too.
If you’re used to Photoshop it’ll take some getting used to, but then the opposite is true too: I feel lost whenever I used Photoshop because I’m not used to it.
All the photos on this site have been prepared using the GIMP (and Bibblelite to convert from RAW occasionally!)
