[Utah-astronomy] Gimp - an open source alternative to Photoshop

Gimp homepage http://www.gimp.org/ Gimp for windows download http://www.gimp.org/windows/ Gimp screenshots http://www.gimp.org/screenshots/ This weekend I installed and configured a Linux laptop and was reminded of and installed Gimp - a freeware program that duplicates the functionality of Photoshop (e.g. layers and masking).  Although I had always understood Gimp to be a unix program, I found that it has also been ported to Windows XP and Vista.  So, if you do not have Photoshop because of the bucks involved, Gimp is a good free open source alternative to look at.
