Free software and downloadable programs you can use for your GDI page

GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)

Want to start adding images to your GDI page, but don't know how to crop, edit and clean the image?  Don't have the money to purchase PhotoShop or Corel Draw or any other imaging manipulation software?  No worries, there are dozens of file sharing software available online that you can download for free and use on your photos.

This open source-image editor is similar to PhotoShop and includes many similar photo-editing tools you would find in the program.  With GNU, you can add filters, special effects, make masks and layers.  It even has the basics like a red-eye removal and the ability to crop and adjust the image color and brightness.

Easy Poster Printer

This is a free program that allows you to take any photograph and turn it into a huge poster -- as big as 20 x 20 meters.  All you do is drag your image into the software and it will show you a grid of your photo and how many pages it will take to print it.  You can adjust your image, flip or stretch it and then print it!

Paint.NET

What began as a project for students working with MicroSoft has evolved into a free image and editing program for PCs that use Windows.  It does the same thing as GIMP as well as PhotoShop and Corel.  There is also an online community for help and plenty of tutorials.
