Some people dare to have their photographs look as if they are shot in magazine covers and editorials, Some just want to have fun and do photo manipulations to have their photographs enhanced (removing blemishes, enhanced skin tones, red-eye removal ect.) All these are possibly with the help of an amazing photo editing software which very reliable which is Adobe Photoshop. The problem though, is that you can download a trial for this Photo-editing software but when the trial period is due, you can't use the software anymore. and the price for the software is pretty much costly. and some free editing software doesn't have that much ability as that of Photoshop. Good thing there is GIMP, it's an open source photo editing software which has pretty much decent features as that of adobe, you can do multiple layering like in Photoshop. and the best part of it, it's FREE. you can also, download and install free brushes online that is very compatible to the software.

That is a very timely information friend! You know I've been trying to download photoshop but I could not use it. So I just gave up the idea because I was informed that I need to take a short course if I want to use the software. How about that GIMP, can you please share some information about it? Like, can I use it outright and would not be needing to enroll in a short course in order to start using it? Thank you!

Hello! thank you for replying on this post. You don't need to enroll on short courses in order to use the software, it's a user friendly editing-software even a 10 year old can do image manipulation using the software. It's also free to download the installer you can download it direct from their link: http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and you can search tons of editing tutorials on it on youtube just key-in the youtube search bar: GIMP Tutorials. I've been using the software for years now and i love how it enhances photographs just like that of Photoshop. Feel free to download it and enjoy it's features have fun!
