There are many versions of GIMP available and many websites offering free downloads. The GIMP software can be legally downloaded off the Internet and you can begin to use it right away. GIMP can do many of the things that can be done in PhotoShop but the Gimp software costs you nothing. GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. The hubber aguasilver put me onto a freeware piece of software called GIMP. I am a GIMP novice myself as I normally use PhotoShop but it was pointed out to me on one of my PhotoShop tutorials by fellow hubber aguasilver that PhotoShop is an expensive piece of software which many people cannot afford to buy especially in these trying times. Because it is intended for people who have no idea how to use this software it will start with the very basics and go through each step with clear instructions and illustrations that will help you see where to look and what to look for on the GIMP page.
This GimpTutorial is intended for people who know nothing about using Gimp at all.
