Linux MCE vs Windows MCE, a side-by-side comparison

Ang Pilipino GIMP as in “The Filipino GIMP”

In these days, the growing number of design enthusiasts are dramatically increasing. A lot of techniques, a lot of styles, a lot of approaches are needed just to stand-out among the rest and compete to each others products and outputs. Such design outputs would not be made possible without the tools to use for editting these brilliant and magnificent masterpieces.

Think of a designer that is willing to buy and pay a state of the art tool to create and master his craft in general the design field. But on the other hand, think of a designer that is willing to download, configure, and use F/OSS designing tools. Of course, you’re  exactly right. There would be a lot of differences and clear comparisons. I wouldn’t want to expound this one… I am pretty sure you know the differences?

This is where THE GIMP come into place.

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.
