GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program, a freely distributed software for photo editing, graphics and image composition. Gimp is currently on version 2.6 and free to download from http://www.gimp.org/downloads/. A Windows XP (SP2 or later) installer is also available.

I (re)tried my hands on Gimp, following this really good tutorial - Advance Orb using Gimp.

If you’re used to the Photoshop, you’ll find Gimp a bit tedious to use at first as some tools settings are set differently or not set automatically. It’s like there are a few extra clicks needed to get something done compared to Photoshop’s tools. Overall, I think like any other new software, you just have to get used to it and learn. =)

I got the tutorial from 50 Design Tutorials for Mastering Gimp
