Step 2The GIMP

The GIMP
The GIMP is another favorite Open Source Freeware graphics program useful for measuring.

It runs on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

It's very powerful, and for basic measuring is easy to use, though not as simple as IrfanView.

You can download the GNU Image Manipulation Program from the official GIMP site or from C|Net and other trusted sources.

You can also use Photoshop, Picasa and many other programs to directly measure scanned parts.
