GIMP
All of the images that are created by me and are posted to this site are all created with GIMP. GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. A lot of people are familiar with Adobe's Photoshop; so much so that they use the noun as a verb..."Don't worry about that pimple I will Photoshop it out..." GIMP would be the fraternal twin of Photoshop, the interface it pretty similar and a lot of the same things can be done in both. The main difference however is that GIMP is $FREE.99...that's right it is an absolutely free program. You can simply go to google and search "GIMP" and click on the first link ...or.... Just Click Here
Additional Info on GIMP
It can be confusing looking at the acronym of GIMP because it is an acronym inside of another acronym. The "G" which stands for GNU an OS which functioned similar to Unix, first launched in 1984. GNU actually has a double meaning, Gnu (pronounced g-noo) is an actual word or should I say an animal. . To the right is the OS's logo, the Gnu, which is basically a wilder beast. The second meaning of the word (G.N.U.) is actually a recursive acronym which stands for GNU not Unix...a simple way to let people know: "It may have a similar feel to UNIX, but guess what...ITS NOT!"
Just a little something extra for those who were curious.
If you use GIMP comment with a link of something you have worked on
