GIMP Tips
GIMP is a cross-platform, free and open-source image editing desktop application.
It is for the "graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist".
GIMP is easy to install (and the source code can be downloaded from GitHub, too.)
Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) has installed GIMP on our (Windows) Design Workstations 1-3.
