%%name: GIMP

%%short-description: Free software replacement for Photoshop
 
%%full-description: The GNU Image Manipulation Program is a freely
distributed piece of software for tasks like photo retouching and
image composition and authoring. 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. It has the majority of the functionality of Photoshop
but without the cost.

GIMP also comes with extensive documentation for both users and
programmers, including a manual, tutorials, examples of various
features, links to other GIMP-related sites, and an extensive list of
plug-ins.
