Today’s quick tech tip….
Photoshop too expensive? Give GIMP a try.
It’s no secret that Adobe’s super-popular photo/image editing app Photoshop doesn’t come cheap.
But guess what? There’s a fantastic, and quite powerful open-source image editor that you can download and install at no charge.
It’s called GIMP, and while it doesn’t have all the capabilities that Photoshop offers, it comes about as close as any commercial alternative you’re likely to find.
Want to give it a try? Head over to OlderGeeks and download the latest version.
Once you install GIMP you might find that you need a tutorial on its use. If so, you’ll find them right here.
