Free and Fantastic - Photo Editing and Image Creation Software

Posted in Free and Fantastic

I have been introducing several open source software items in the "free and Fantastic' category on my blog. Here is yet another open source, free program you can download, GIMP. Like Open Office, this is no wimply, watered down program. It is a very powerful tool that can be used for a large number of applications for home and homeschool.

 

GIMP is an image manipulation software. With it you can improve photos or create artistic images from scratch. You can download GIMP for Windows at http://www.gimp.org/windows/ or use this page to jump to the download for MAC or Linux.

 

Timothy, eleven years old, is a particular fan of GIMP. Here is an image he created to use as a desktop walpaper:
