GIMP stands retroactively for GNU Image Manipulation program (the G used to stand for General). If you're at all familiar with PhotoShop, then you understand what interesting things can be done with photos and other graphical images. The problem with PhotoShop lies in its price, which is out of the range of most lay-users. It has had quite a bit of piracy as a result.
GIMP is the solution for people who need the results of PhotoShop without the dent in their wallet (and without the risk of being caught for unlicensed software use.)
Have you ever wanted to take the red eye out of a photo and found MS Paint to be entirely not up to the task? Have you ever wanted to otherwise manipulate a picture, and the native program just simply cannot help you do it? If it is possible, GIMP can do it.
