Finding a photo from the web for your design project is easy. But you cannot simply download and use it, most of them are copyrighted. Some are free but with restrictions. The least restricted free images you can find are those in the public domain. What is the Public Domain?
A seam is a line formed by sewing together pieces of cloth. A seamless image or some may call it tileable background, can be repeated without any seam being visible because the edges of the image blend well.

Adobe Photoshop is a great graphics/photo editing program but it is expensive. Most people especially freelancers like me aren’t able to afford it. Luckily I found GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), it’s open source software free for personal and commercial use.
