I’ve been playing around a little with The GIMP image editing software. It’s an open source application that’s supposed to do much of what Photoshop does. Though I can’t afford Photoshop for comparison, I’m amazed with the quality of The GIMP. It’s easy to figure out the basics, and somewhat easy to figure out the advanced stuff. There’re so many techy (and probably amazing) open source projects out there, but it’s interesting (and fun) to check out some of the stuff available at the end user level.
If you have Windows, you’ll want to get The GIMP here.
* You’d think, observing the trend to use more and more images on this site, that I would have a little image for an entry about image editing software. I call your attention to the July bar exam to justify that failed expectation.
