Crumpler The Gimp 13'' Special Edition

Gimp Mask

Advantages: It's free and it does everything a professional photographer could want
Disadvantages: It has so many features it could take a while to find your way around

GIMP is a free photo-editing tool similar to Photoshop, which can be used for anything from simple red-eye reduction, cropping and image size or file format changing to full professional photo retouching. GIMP is an acronym for "GNU Image Manipulation Program" and was written for UNIX or Linux computers, but now is also available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

Review of The GIMP

The GIMP Software Review

Advantages: Free, easy to use - able to create professional pictures

Aliens - Special Edition

Advantages: It's a classic
Disadvantages: None

Aliens is one of the greatest sequels of all time. My feelings on the film are in much greater detail are available in my review of the movie itself.

The movies cast is ...
