howtogimp is a blog that brings you the best Gimp tutorials, resources and articles. It is run by me, Simon North, a web designer from England, UK. I have used Gimp for all my web designs much to the dismay of my clients who want their designs in Photoshop format. I believe that The Gimp is better than Photoshop and it is my aim to try and prove this with howtogimp.

About The Gimp

GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed program for such tasks as photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality photo retouching program, an online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc. GIMP is expandable and extensible. It is designed to be augmented with plug-ins and extensions to do just about anything. The advanced scripting interface allows everything from the simplest task to the most complex image manipulation procedures to be easily scripted. GIMP is written and developed under X11 on UNIX platforms. But basically the same code also runs on MS Windows and Mac OS X. (source gimp.org)

      howtogimp is a site dedicated to bringing you the best resources for The Gimp, the popular image editing program.

      The site is run by me, Simon North, a web designer from England, UK. I use The Gimp to design websites and graphics, much to the dismay of my clients who want designs in Photoshop format. I believe that the Gimp is a great alternative to Photoshop and hopefully I can prove this with howtogimp.
