Expert in the Rough, Brian Monahan

Photoshop is $600, GIMP is free. You make the choice.

For most of “In The Roughers” you are probably on a tight budget. GIMP is a free image editing program that will allow you to create professional blog headers and other image files.

I created the header for my personal blog Coachbriany.com with GIMP and the header for Expert in the Rough with Photoshop.

I happen to have access to Photoshop with my day job, however, if I had to purchase Photoshop I would choose GIMP in a heartbeat. This header is a combination of a header supplied with a free Wordpress Theme and IStockPhoto image. I will cover these tools in future posts.
