GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a freely distributed piece of software suitable for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition, and image authoring. |
It is powerful software with capabilities not found in any other free software product. 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, or an image format converter. GIMP is modular, expandable, and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plugins and extensions to do almost anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the most straightforward task to the most complex image-manipulation procedures to be easily scripted.

Features and Highlights
Customizable Interface
Each task requires a different environment, allowing you to customize the view and behavior how you like it. Starting from the widget theme, you can change colors, widget spacings, and icon sizes to custom toolsets in the toolbox. The interface is modulized into so-called docks, allowing you to stack them into tabs or keep them open in their window. Pressing the tab key will toggle them hidden.
Photo Enhancement
Numerous digital photo imperfections can be easily compensated for using GIMP. Fix perspective distortion caused by lens tilt simply choosing the corrective mode in the transform tools. Eliminate lens barrel distortion and vignetting with a powerful filter but a simple interface.
Digital Retouching
The program is ideal for advanced photo retouching techniques. Get rid of unneeded details using the clone tool, or touch up minor details easily with the new healing tool. With the perspective clone tool, it’s not difficult to clone objects with perspective in mind, just as easily as with the orthogonal clone.
Hardware Support
It includes unique support for various input devices out of the box: pressure and tilt-sensitive tablets and a wide range of USB or MIDI controllers. You can bind often-used actions to device events, such as rotating a USB wheel or moving a MIDI controller’s slider. Change a brush’s size, angle, or opacity while you paint, and bind your favorite scripts to buttons. Speed up your workflow!
File Formats
The file format support ranges from JPEG (JFIF), GIF, PNG, and TIFF to particular use formats such as the multi-resolution and multi-color-depth Windows icon files. The architecture allows us to extend GIMP’s format capabilities with a plugin. You can find some rare format support in the plugin registry.
To save disk space, any format can be saved with an archive extension such as ZIP, GZ, or BZ2, and the app will transparently compress the file without you needing to do any extra steps.
