Gimp is the GNU Image Manipulation Program.



Introduction to GIMP

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring.

It 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 written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. But basically the same code also runs on MS Windows and Mac OS X.

I've just read this program just few months ago. And I've seen quite a few nice looking sigs which I thought made using Photoshop.

I started using the gimp around a month.
Not installed photoshop yet mainly because I saw that gimp was not so basic and want explore the skills a bit more.
It´s a good choice for newbie in digital art .
I´ll organize the information gathered and start a topic.
