Many people find it extremely useful in creating logos and other graphics for Web pages.
The GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system before running the scripts. Install the GIMP if you need a powerful image manipulation program.
