FREE SOFTWARE SATURDAYS: GIMP Photo Editor

You've heard of Adobe Photoshop and graphic designers and photographers dub it to be the best photo editing software, ever!  Well, that's great and all, but some of us can't afford the program. Even the student discount version is $200...yikes!  

So, what's the alternative?  I'm glad you asked!  It's GIMP.  I'm sure you've heard that program thrown out in a conversation at least once.  GIMP runs and feels just like Photoshop that it's often dub as the 'Free Photoshop.'  However, if you've played with Adobe Photoshop, there's going to be a learning curve with GIMP.  Some features you'll come across will act differently but will get the job done.

The interface is sleek and lines up almost with Photoshop.  GIMP will launch 3 windows with two side toolbar and the editing window.  There have been mixed reviews of the program, but whether you're an amateur or a professional, both sides have come to learn and love GIMP.  Give GIMP 2.8 for Windows, Mac and Linux a try today!
