The GNU Image Manipulation Program (the GIMP) is the open source image
and photo manipulator which gives Adobe's very popular and
powerful Photoshop a serious run for its money. GIMP is a
very powerful tool for editing images and creating impressive
graphics. It is one of the highlights of all open source software, and
demonstrates the quality that can be achieved through open source
development.
