I'm going to take you through the ABC of editing an image. The system requirements are fairly low, and it will download quickly with an average internet connection. It is excellent lightweight (under 20 megabytes), will run on many operating systems, has many useful tools, is very user friendly and has heaps of included gradients, fonts and textures! Where can I get GIMP? Installers are available for linux/unix, windows and mac operating systems. Personally I use GIMP (GNU image manipulation program). And if you want to download a trial it's hundreds of megabytes. The first thing most will think of is photoshop. But what about when an image is so botched that fixing some flash induced freaky devil eyes won't fix it? That's when you turn to a serious manipulation program.

The first for many amateur photographers is the software supplied with their camera. There are many techniques available to attempt to repair a botched image. It can be the camera, the person taking the photo or the subject matter itself.
