GIMP is a great open source program to edit and retouch your digital photos and other images, but the key thing to remember is that it’s completely free. In features it compares well to the $79 pricetag Adobe sticks on Photoshop Elements 5.0.

In this beginner’s hands-on look at GIMP, I highlight some of its features and walk you through retouching a digital photo.

I use GIMP, along with other programs like ComicLife and Flash, to produce the political cartoons and artwork on Pollyticks.com.
