GIMP is a powerful free alternative to image editing programs like Photoshop.
Unlike simple scribbling programs such as MS Paint, you can make use of layers to keep individual elements manageable.
Common Uses
- touching up photographs
- putting together panels, e.g. for articles
- removing background from images (DE: Freistellen)
- looks better on posters/presentations/etc.
- allows mixing of independent images, e.g. to place people into exotic settings - or dogs into fruit bowls...
