Since then, GIMP has gone through a huge number of revisions and even total restructuring. The first public release of GIMP was made available way back in 1996, although the beginnings of the GNU free software movement had taken place even earlier at the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab in 1983 when Richard Stallman announced the project’s founding on several Usenet lists. The project is under active development and regularly releases new versions. GIMP is a powerful image editor designed to provide professional-level editing tools for the Linux environment at zero cost, although it was eventually released for both Windows and macOS platforms. In this case, GNU refers to a free software movement rather than an antelope. It is a software program that is designed to create and edit raster images – though surprisingly enough, not only images of gnus. "GIMP 2.6 for Photographers" has evolved from classroom materials that the author developed and taught in courses and workshops on image editing with the GIMP.The name GIMP is an acronym that stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program.
The most important editing functions are presented in individual, easy-to-follow workshops. Topics include the basics of image editing and simple adjustments, as well as advanced techniques using layers and masks, stitching panoramic images, and preparing high-quality black and white images. "GIMP 2.6 for Photographers" is a beginner's guide to the only open source image editing tool that provides a no-cost alternative to expensive programs such as Photoshop. The only open source tool in this market is the GIMP, which has developed into a powerful, multiplatform system running on Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. Image editing tools, most notably Photoshop, are usually sophisticated and deep applications, and are fairly expensive. Image editing has become a crucial element in the photographic workflow.
