MULTIMEDIA DESIGN—GIMP                                                    3






                 Multimedia is a combination of the phrases multi (meaning many) and media (meaning information). This
                 means a mode of transmitting information. As a result, multimedia is concerned with the simultaneous use
                 of many media in an integrated manner. It could encompass any of the following types of media:

                 Ð ÐTextual
                 Ð ÐGraphics & Illustrations

                 Ð ÐAudio and/or animated video
                 A variety of media are combined through the art of multimedia design to provide a variety of products,
                 including video games, educational software, navigational systems, entertainment, and other uses.

                 In  the  modern  world,  open-source  multimedia  design  tools  are  becoming  more  and  more  popular
                 because  they  are  not  only  free  to  use,  but  also  allow  us  to  add  new  features  and  enhance  their
                 functionality because their source code is also freely accessible. Adobe Photoshop has remained the
                 most widely used image editing programme over time. However, a wide range of open-source photo
                 editing programmes are now available. GIMP, Fotor, Fooflexer, Snapseed, Autodesk Pixlr, and Picasa are
                 a few of them. Multimedia programme GIMP comes with a variety of sophisticated image-editing and
                 transformation tools. We will explore the capabilities of GIMP and go over some of its most important
                 features in the sections that follow.
