The GIMP

The GIMP is another free program available for anyone to download. It can be used to manipulate 2D images with numerous editing techniques, or you can create images from scratch with the many filters (effects) it has and create images such as the banner of this website.

If you want a good quality 2D image manipulation program and don't want to pay hundreds of dollars, just download the GIMP.
