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. Clear Skies - Kurt
GIMP also is available for Mac OS X. I use GIMP on a regular basis and use it to enhance my sketches at the eyepiece. On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 9:40 PM, Canopus56 <canopus56@yahoo.com> wrote:
