The ultimate guide to free software: Photo manipulation

04/08/2008 send to a friend

Our friends at The PC Support Group are back with the final part of their 7 point guide to free software. This week, they're suggesting a free alternative to costly photo manipulation software.

For anyone wishing to manipulate or retouch digital images then Adobe’s Photoshop has been the benchmark for a number of years. Unfortunately the full version (as used by many professionals) is fairly expensive. A great free alternative is Gimp.

Not only does Gimp provide you with the basic functionality required by most amateur photographers such as red-eye removal, special effects like tint, and retouching operations, but it also has more sophisticated features such as perspective and barrel distortion correction.

You can find Gimp at www.gimp.org
