GIMP  is  an  acronym  for  GNU  Image  Manipulation  Program.  It  is  a  freely  distributed  program  for  such  tasks  as  photo  retouching,  image  composition  and  image  authoring.  

It  has  many  capabilities.  It  can  be  used  as  a  simple  paint  program,  an  expert  quality  photo  retouching  program,  an  online  batch  processing  system,  a  mass  production  image  renderer,  an  image  format  converter,  etc.  

GIMP  is  expandable  and  extensible.  It  is  designed  to  be  augmented  with  plug-­‐ins  and  extensions  to  do  just  about  anything.  The  advanced  scripting  interface  allows  everything  from  the  simplest  task  to  the  most  complex  image  manipulation  procedures  to  be  easily  scripted.  

GIMP  is  written  and  developed  under  X11  on  UNIX  platforms.  But  basically  the  same  code  also  runs  on  MS  Windows  and  Mac  OS  X.
