GIMP - Alternative Free Software to Photoshop

    
ikon gimpCurrently, people commonly use photoshop to manipulate images or photographs. Photoshop is still the best and most popular in terms of graphics processing. But since Photoshop is a commercial software which is quite expensive, surely there must be someone out there finding out if there is free one as good as Photoshop. When searching on internet, I found that GIMP is a graphics processor that is recognized by many as the best alternative replacement for Photoshop. This can be seen from many reviews still recommend GIMP.

Gimp stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program, a free and open source software that functions implementing graphics processing. Some say Gimp is the open source version of Photoshop because both have many similarities in functions.

A lot of opinions on various websites say that many Photoshop users are rather overwhelmed when switching to Gimp, because its layout looks rather different from photoshop. If this is a problem for you, then you should try using GIMPshop. GIMPshop is a modified version of Gimp which its interface / layout is transformed to be more similar to photoshop.
