The GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.
The GIMP has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc.
GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.

Gimp is an awsome program you just gotta mess around with it and get things figured out. You Gotta spend time to understand the program and what it can do.

The Gimp is the best free image editor, I have ever come across (and believe me, I've been searching for a good image editor for a LONG TIME). Whoever created it is GREAT!!!

I used Photoshop for a while and the Gimp is a nice Legal replacement it would be nice if one can get more plugins for the program.I've some problems with the font's.It closes the program when you scroll trough the different fonts P.P
Gimp is great
It's amazing what you can do in Gimp that other graphics programs don't come close to. Everyday I learn something new that is helpful. It's become the only graphics editor that I use, on both Windows and Linux.

Anyone interested in graphic art or making their own web page MUST HAVE THIS software! It's like adobe (the stuff people pay hundreds of dollars for) but free. Perfect blend of an intuitive interface and total customizability. Supports a ton of file formats, layers, everything. Amazing!
