WEB FREEBIE WEDNESDAY: Gimp

Welcome to Web Freebie Wednesday, the mid-week event featuring some of the best freebies of the web. Today's freebie is Gimp open source software. Open source software is free as in "free speech" and it is also free as in "free beer". The idea of open source is to encourage programmers to contribute to an overall and improved finished product. Gimp is one of the most well-known open source programs that is comparable to Adobe Photoshop. So, if you need photo editing software, you can either pay $700 for Adobe Photoshop or get Gimp for free.
