I'm a guy that loves photo-editing, and GIMP is my dream come true. It's free, and it can do everything I need, and more! Read the next paragraph to find out more about Gimp. I love spending time messing about with Gimp's many filters(see below), playing tennis, reading books, and working on my school's newspaper. And no, I won't tell you which school, stalker! My hobbies include: collecting smashed bottle caps, trying to blow things up(mostly unsuccessful, unfortunately) and Gimping. Yep, I made it a verb. I aim to make 2-3 tutorials per week.

Gimp(for those of you who don't know) is a photo-editing tool that is completely free-of-charge. Not only can you edit edit photos, but you can create your own as well, and create animations! The type are GIF images, or moving pictures. You may have seen them in website users avatars. I would highly recommend this program. The Gimp(it's proper name) has over 30 filters that range from blurring an image, to removing a red eye flash effect. Truly, it is and amazing deal. Because it is free, people download and suggest improvements to the makers, so the program is evolving all the time!
-Give it a try,
