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
GIMP is an excellent, free, open source, desktop, pixel-based, image manipulation and editing program. You can use it to edit digital photographs and other graphics. Or, you can create stunning digital graphics from scratch with the GIMP.
GIMP pretty much has the same collection of features and functions that Photoshop has. GIMP and Photoshop are similar software products of comparable quality.
wrote ... The volunteer developers of The GIMP have been working hard to develop a polished, user-friendly, and freely distributed image editor. This application caught our attention, and hearts, as one of the most powerful general-purpose image editors around. The application's features include channels, layers and masks, filters and effects, tabbed palettes, editable text tools, and color operations, such as levels. It provides professional tools that can stand against the big boys without the hefty price tag. The only downside to this otherwise flawless program is the installation process. As it stands now, you have to install the GTX Runtime Environment and The GIMP separately. Once installed, though, the program is extremely powerful and easy to work with. The GIMP is ideal for amateur photographers, Web designers, and anyone who wants to create and edit professional-quality digital images on a budget.

to sum it up GIMP is pretty much Photoshop for Unix/Linux users. I used to use it on a FreeBSD system I was runnin a loooong time ago. Call it Photoshop lite.
