Hello Friends this is my 2nd edition of GIMP Tutorial post. In this post I want to show you about how to use GIMP Software. GIMP is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image retouching and editing, free-form drawing, converting between different image formats, and more specialized tasks.
