My Take
While Gimp has a steep learning curve, it offers students a great free PS alternative they can even use at home. If kids do not have access to adobe application, Gimp is a great alternative and can encourage students to create more photography projects at home without the need for the computer lab.
How I Use It
This is a great free photoshop alternative. Gimp can be used in multimedia art creation for students interested in photography.
