What Is It?
GIMP is basically an open source equivalent to Photoshop, and is just as good, if not better. It used to be included with Ubuntu releases but has been left out recently to conserve space. I recommend it to anyone that just wants to mess around with photos, draw on their computer, or is serious about photography. Pretty much everyone has a use for GIMP.
How Do I Get It?
In order to get GIMP all you have to do is open your Terminal and type,
sudo apt-get install gimp
After it is installed you can launch it and mess around. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube if you are unfamiliar with photo editors.
Single-Window Mode
Are you used to using Photoshop? You can make GIMP look similar to Photoshop with the Single-Window Mode option. To toggle this option go to your menu bar, select Window, and click on Single-Window Mode. Thats it, if you ever wish to return to stock form then follow these directions in reverse.
