GIMP 2.1
OS: Windows 7 or newer
OVER THE PAST YEAR OR SO, we’ve featured a variety of image manipulation tutorials that have covered a range of tasks. These programs are often powerful tools, but they also tend to cost a fair amount. Our go-to photo-editing program is usually Adobe Photoshop, but this can be a pricey tool, particularly if it comes as part of a subscription to the Adobe suite. However, there are plenty of alternatives, such as GIMP, that offer a similar outcome for free.
Although it doesn’t have the most instantly appealing name, GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. Granted, this application doesn’t have the finesse and the overall shine that Photoshop does, but it’s still a useful program, particularly for those on a budget or just starting out. If you’re unsure on what path you’d like to take in design, whether that’s as a hobbyist or if you want to take the commercial route, then GIMP is a great free starting point.
