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.
