Basics
GIMP is an abbreviation for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed software package for tasks such as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It runs on many operating systems, in many languages and is considered as good as some professional tools such as Adobe Photoshop.
Two things it is important to remember:
- You paint with the left mouse button; and
- You select from the menus with the right mouse button.
Migrating from Photoshop
We advise you to use
GIMPShop, as it will mean that all the menus and layout are familiar to you.
