For a small and unassuming open source project started as a college project in 1995, GIMP’s impact on the world may have been larger and wider reaching than its developers realised. And in ways they had never intended.
And with all that impact, there are still so many readers that are wondering, “What is this GIMP he is speaking of?” GIMP is actually an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. (And if you want yet another headache, look up what the GNU acronym stands for!) Or as most people simply refer to it, a free Photoshop alternative.
