For those of you who do not know what GIMP is :

" GIMP provides easy-to-use, professional design tools that are comparable to Photoshop—minus the hefty price tag. GIMP is free image editing software that perfects photos and creates animated images. It is also a cross platform utility, meaning that it can be installed on Windows. "
