The file gimp-2.2.exe belongs to the software The GIMP by Jernej Simoncic. GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image retouching and imaging tool that is released under the GPLv3 license as free and open-source software, with versions that are tailored for most operating systems that include Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux. The application features tools that can be used for image retouching and editing, resizing, cropping, free-from drawing, photomontages, converting between different image formats, and other specialized tasks. The GIMP user interface is presented in the single and multiple window modes, which is the default mode. The multiple window mode presents a set of windows that contain all functionality, with the tools and the tool settings on the left and other dialogues on the right. The tools used in image editing that can be accessed from the toolbox include filters and brushes, as well as transformation, selection, layer and masking tools. GIMP is sometimes considered as a possible replacement for Adobe Photoshop, with features that include color selection, and an animation plugin that enables users to create animated images such as GIF and MPEG files.
