GIMP goodness
If you’re looking for great free, open source, multi-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS) image editing software, then look no further: you need the GIMP (which stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program). Most folks describe the GIMP as “open source Photoshop”, but that’s not quite true. For instance, the GIMP doesn’t yet do Pantone colors (they’re owned by one company, unfortunately), so output for print is a bit limited, but for most other graphics needs, the GIMP is great & always getting better; in fact, version 2.2 is supposed to be out later this month. Here’s a couple of resources for those interested in learning more about da GIMP.
