GIMP - Image editing (Toolkit Activity)

IT Learning Centre Skills toolkit penknife icon

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a free program that you can use for photo retouching, image composition and image authoring among other things.

GIMP can be used on different platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) and for a wide variety of tasks. It can be extended with additional plug-ins.

GIMP has an active user community and support material; instructions and tutorials can be found in abundance online.

 

This task will give you a flavour of how GIMP might be used in your research. You can try this task on your own, although it was designed to be done in a classroom with a teacher to support you.

You will need the GIMP software installed on your computer. Talk to your IT support person about this.
