      howtogimp is a site dedicated to bringing you the best resources for The Gimp, the popular image editing program.

      The site is run by me, Simon North, a web designer from England, UK. I use The Gimp to design websites and graphics, much to the dismay of my clients who want designs in Photoshop format. I believe that the Gimp is a great alternative to Photoshop and hopefully I can prove this with howtogimp.
