The GIMP Image Editor

My Review 

I've been using a Gimp in conjunction with a book titled "The Photoshop Elements 7 Book for digital photographers". Most of the fairly advanced techniques for creatively manipulating images can be done in an almost identical way with Gimp, i.e. the features are very similar. But it was only by reading the book that I picked up many of these techniques, I would never have guessed by just 'playing around' with the program. I assume the same could be said of Photoshop, considering the similarities I've noticed. I've been very impressed with the results.
