লিনাক্স ব্যবহারকারীরা ফটো এডিটিং এর জন্য একটি দারুণ সফটওয়ার ডিস্ট্রিবিউশনের সাথে ফ্রি পেয়ে থাকে। এর নাম GIMP, এই দারুণ সফটওয়ারটিকে অনেকেই ফটোশপের বিকল্প বলে থাকে। ৪০-৫০ হাজার টাকা দামের ফটোশপ ছবি সম্পাদনা বা তৈরির ক্ষেত্রে হয়তো জিম্প এর চাইতেও বেশি কিছু করতে পারে। কিন্তু আমাদের মতো সাধারণ ইউজারদের জন্য Gimp এর মতো শক্তিশালী ফটো এডিটর আর একটাও নেই। এই জিম্প এর একটি গাইডবই ফ্রি পাওয়া যাচ্ছে। এর নাম "Grokking the Gimp" । আগ্রহীরা অনলাইনে পড়তে পারবেন আবার ডাউনলোড করে নিয়ে কম্পিউটারে রেখে দিয়ে অফলাইনেও দেখে নিতে পারবেন।
এই আকর্ষণীয় ই-বইটির অনলাইন সূচীপত্রটি সম্পূর্ণ উদ্ধৃত করার লোভ সামলানো গেল না।
This is a online E-Book on Gimp - the image manipulation program.
