GIMP Photo Editor: Free Alternative Adobe® Photoshop®

As a college student who majored in Web Development and Design, I was trained to work with Adobe's Adobe® Photoshop® not only to manipulate images but also to generate electronic copies of wire frames for web sites. Needless to say that I was most grateful to learn about GIMP photo editor, free alternative Adobe® Photoshop® (GNU Image Manipulation Program). The ability of Adobe® Photoshop® to slice a fully designed template into a functional web site is probably one of it's most impressive features. However, there are some drawbacks to this "advantage" of Adobe® Photoshop® which is why my professor didn't dwell too long on such a topic. The days of table based layouts are over. Of course such sites still exist on the web, but many of them are old and not frequently updated.

Although Adobe® Photoshop® is able to make a web template functional using CSS, I find that, unless they've improved the program since I used it, the code generated is messy. This won't affect the visual results, but it can create headaches when the time comes to alter that jumbled code. Understandably, my professor emphasized external CSS files to control and keep separate the style from the content. Nevertheless, we continued to work heavily with Adobe® Photoshop® to do wire frames, visual layouts, and edit images and photos.

The disadvantage to this reliance on Adobe® Photoshop® was that the software was installed in only one classroom making it very inconvenient for students. Using a trial version of the program is insufficient to survive until graduation. Although the software can be purchased at the discounted student price, why should that money be spent when GIMP photo editor, a free alternative Adobe® Photoshop®, can be used instead and is free? GIMP photo editor has been descried as being a clone of Adobe® Photoshop®. While that statement isn't necessarily accurate, it does convey the truth that the GIMP can do practically anything that Adobe® Photoshop® can and in a similar way.

GIMP photo editor, the free image editing software is available by download from Gimp.org. The program comes in three versions, one for MS Windows, one for Linux and now there's the GIMP for Mac OS 10. Also, most popular distributions of Linux such as Fedora come "bundled" with the GIMP for the user's convenience. Users of Linux flavors that don't include GIMP photo editor may usually obtain it through their distribution's repository. A repository is best described as a store house of additional software available for a specific flavor (distro) of Linux. I run both Fedora and Puppy Linux and I like both. I had to download the GIMP for Puppy; it works great!

GIMP photo editor, a free alternative Adobe® Photoshop®, will not only save students money, but also give them the convenience of using this powerful image editing software in their home. The GIMP saves .psd (Adobe® Photoshop® document) files with no trouble. Once they've downloaded it, they can legally install it on as many PC's as they'd like and copy and share it with their friends.

Based on true events, The Third Man by Angela Sheffield, brings the Bible up close and personal as the characters face real issues of life: Betrayal, deceit, romance, bitterness, anger against God, hopelessness, will power, perplexity, triumph, unforgiveness, mental illness, and the "Alcohol made me do it" excuse.
