What's All The Fuss About The GIMP? Maybe Twitter Has The Answer!
GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program. appears to be getting more popular every day, especially if you take a look at that popular micro-blogging site known as Twitter!
Despite criticisms that it can't be considered a tool for the serious professional, more and more people are turning to it and find that they can get some very professional looking results from this free alternative to Adobe's Photoshop.
