This Online Gimp Editor is a tool designed for beginners and professional users as a free alternative to Photoshop. Use Gimp online to work with RAW files, using layers and third-party Gimp plugins. Edit the skin, remove pimples, redness, red eye defects and perform semi-automatic color grading using this free Gimp Online Editor.
Help I usually use Paint for making diagrams, but I wish there was a software that made the process easier. I have used GIMP frequently for gimp-shopping photos, but I don't know how to effectively use GIMP for making diagrams. The GIMP is a multiplatform photo manipulation tool. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. The GIMP is suitable for a variety of image manipulation tasks, including photo retouching, image composition, and image construction. It has many capabilities. It can be used as a simple paint program, an expert quality. The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), a free graphic software tool is used for creating imagery for logo designing purpose. Divided into different chapters, Brian with his crisp training will lead you through different steps of installing the software and using it for creating logos.
This discussion is connected to the gimp-user-list.gnome.org mailing list which is provided by the GIMP developers and not related to gimpusers.com.

Use GIMP for commercial / business purposes?
To the GIMP User List,
I understand that I can sell GIMP for a fee if I want, but I am not clearwhether or not I am allowed to use GIMP for commercial / business purposes.For instance, I want to use GIMP for a job to earn money. Can I use GIMP toedit photos / graphics as part of a job to earn money? I know that if Iwant to use Photoshop to earn money (for commercial purposes), I need topurchase a license. Can I use GIMP commercially to earn money? I do notmean earning money in selling the GIMP source code, etc.--I mean using GIMPas a tool for a job to make money. Thank you in advance for your help.

You are.
Yes, the license clearly allows that. And furthermore, should you find your business model successful, and you discover from your customer base that a particular feature not in GIMP would increase its prospects, you are perfectly at liberty to hire a coder to develop that feature.
However, if he or she wants/needs to modify GIMP to add/enable that feature, the license allows that as well, provided those modifications are turned over to the GIMP community for possible release to the rest of the GIMP world. Assistance in terms of code improvement is the 'coin of the realm' in the FOSS movement, as I understand it.
Of course, not all modifications would 'make the grade', but as long as the code modifications were made available to the community (and consequently to the wold at large) the license requirement would seem to be satisfied. And the GIMP community would love to have additional assistance.

Yes, you are wrong. You can charge money for distributing Gimp. Aslong as either:
a) you haven't modified itor
b) if you have modified it, you can provide all the source code(including modifications) for free or a reasonable cost (ie. at noprofit)
b) if you have modified it, you can provide all the source code(including modifications) for free or a reasonable cost (ie. at noprofit)
Anyone can distribute GPL'd software for a fee. It's just not a verysuccessful business model most of the time.

Your distinction between these two cases is not exactly true. Even whenyou distribute an unmodified Gimp you're required to provide thesourcecode to your customer on request. The easiest way of course is toprovide the sourcecode archive on the same medium you use to distributethe Gimp binary, even without the customers request.
The fact that the typical free software project has a prominent presenceon the net does not release you from the obligation to provide thesource code to your customers (think about a project dropping from thenet, this would leave your customers out in the dark..).
Just a minor nitpick :)

Well, about fonts, I was remembering when I used to work in graphicsand we had to be really vigilant about font licenses. I was thinkingof this recent post on gimplist, which seems to cover the personal orsmall commercial use:
But actually I was wondering more specifically about the packaging offonts with a distribution of Gimp. Were you to supply a set of fontswith, is there a collection or place to choose from that are all free,or you buy them, or you let it up to the user to get their own, etc?
Adobe acrobat reader apple. That's all.Thanks

The Gimp project does not provide any fonts. You'd have to ask yoursource for the fonts for the terms and conditions attached to the fonts.
A good source for you might be http://openfontlibrary.org/ , which hasits roots in the free software community.
I hope this helps, Simon

How To Use Gimp 2
Wrong. Nowhere does it say that YOU must personally make the sourcecode available, only that it must be available. In this case, thesource code already happens to be readily available all over the web.Only if you modify it and then distribute a binary based on themodified code must you provide the modified source code.

You can, as long as you stay within the requirements of the GPL.

This is wrong actually - even if you haven't modified a GPL-licensedprogram, you have to provide the source code of the specific binary youredistributed on request (you can charge a nominal fee for the sourcecode). This is something you have to be careful of if you redistribute thebinary on the web - offer both the source code and binary from the samesite, it's specifically not enough to just point to some 3rd party sitethat has the source code, unless you've made arrangements with that sitethat it'll keep providing the source code for your binary.

Hey you're right!
Not terribly onerous, though. So you can sell Gimp all you want for asmuch as you want, as long as the source code is available for free ora nominal fee (ie. postage cost and no profit).
Now, let's avoid the debate over trademarks..

You probably should read the license then. In the case of the Gimp thisis GPL v3 and in section 6 you'd find:
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
[..]
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.

So it is *your* personal obligation to ensure that you have an answer tospecific request by your customer. You cannot just rely that someone onthe net might have it available. Either you do a contract with a thirdparty or you provide the source yourself. Testing your luck is not agood strategy.

Yes, the GPL has been tested in many courts. There are a few exampleson the GPL Wikipedia page. Many of the decisions were handed down asjudgments, not just as settlements between parties.
