How About a Super Alternative to Photoshop?

Let's face it. Photoshop is too expensive. Then there's the ownership by Adobe which is a company that eclipses Ballmer and Windows when it comes to paranoia. I just don't like them. Every time there's a new download of Reader, Flash, Shockwave, etc., I cringe in fear that they are putting bad juju on my PC. Yes, they are all owned by Adobe. Anyway, by the time you buy all the cute little modules and toys that go with Photoshop the price goes to a kazillion dollars. Well hold your beer boys and girls, there is an alternative. Guess what? It's free. Yep! It has many online help sites too.

WikiHow has a super introduction to the world of GIMP. This is a good place to start. No the beach house did not pick the name. This is an opensource software program that is POWERFUL! It runs on many operating systems including Windows. So don't throw money at the Adobe Paranoids. Just cruise over and join the world of opensource. You'll be amazed at this marvelous program.
