Usuage of the Gimp for my Organization
GIMP is an open source software project, which means you are free to modify it as you like and use it for any purpose in accordance with this license http://www.gimp.org/about/COPYING
To modify GIMP, the easiest way is probably to download the source code
repositories from git:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp
Other relevant developer information can be found here: http://www.gimp.org/develop/
It might also be noted that GIMP is a very large and very complex program with a LOT of features. Before you invest the time to modify anything, it's probably a good idea to explore whether or not the changes you want to make are necessary for your project. Often you can achieve what you need with features that GIMP comes with, or by writing extensions rather than trying to change GIMP's core code.
If the features that you want are not present you can always suggest them to the community as well, some ideas are popular enough to make it into the project.
Welcome to the GIMP community, and good luck. :)

Good luck. :)

GIMP is free software - you have the freedom to make changes, or to hire programmers to make changes.
Or you could tell us what sort of changes you need...

Strictly speaking this means I cant answer your questions and we can't archive your email. Since these disclaimers have been shown to be at best meaningless and at worse actively harmful these days most people ignore them. It's best to turn them off when posting to public mailing lists.

Usuage of the Gimp for my Organization
3 Single row Marquee tool
4 Single coloumn marquee tool
-Draw a rectangle selection across the canvas from end to end where you
want the 1px selection.
-In the rectangle select dialogue, scroll down to the "size" and enter "1"
for the width or height
5 Polygonal lasso tool
-The default mode for the lasso tool in GIMP is polygon. Click and drag for
mouse mode.
-Morover notice you can move points you have already put down simply by
dragging them where you want them (better than Photoshop in this way).
6 Magenetic lasso tool - Try the Scissors Select tool.
7 Quick Selection tool - Try the Foreground Selection Tool
11 Perspective crop tool
- Select area to be cropped with lasso tool
- Image > Crop to Selection
- Use Perspective Tool to adjust
13 Color Sampler tool - Windows > Dockable Dialogues > Colors
14 Ruler tool - Try the Measure tool.
15 Spot healing brush tool - Try the Heal Tool.
13 Patch tool - Filters > Enhance > Heal Selection
14 Content aware move tool
- make selection
- Copy selection
- Filters > Enhance > Heal Selection
- Paste selection ... (I have no idea why you'd need a separate tool for
this. ;P)
15 Red Eye tool
- Filters > Enhance > Red Eye Removal
18 Color replacement tool
- Use "Select by Color Tool"
- Colors > Color Balance / Hue Saturation / Etc.
- Additionally: Colors > Map > Color Exchange
19 Mixer Brush tool
- GIMP will acquire brushes that include background color mixing in the
2.9/3.0 release
- Check out Krita.org for an illustration program to rival Photoshop or
Painter X
21 Pattern stamp tool
- Select Clone tool
- Scroll down in tool settings to "Source", and choose "pattern"
22 History Brush tool
- Open another copy of your current working document from your last save
point
- select the Clone Tool
- In your save point document, ctrl-click on the area to paint from
- Switch back to your current document and paint as you like
23 Art History Brush tool
- Not implemented, feel free. :)
- Check out GMIC. It contains a wealth of interesting painting effects
for GIMP.
25 Background eraser tool - Can be achieved with resynthesize as above, but if you must have it in an eraser tool form, feel free to implement.
26 Magic eraser tool
- Fuzzy Select tool (Wand icon)
- Layer > Mask > Add Layer Mask (check the "Selection" radio button and
the "Invert Mask" checkbox and Click "Add")
32 Dodge tool
33 Burn tool
- Try the Dodge/Burn Tool. ;P
34 Sponge tool - Try the Blur/Sharpen Tool
36 Free form pen tool - Try the Ink Tool
37 Add anchor point tool
38 Delete anchor point tool
39 Convert point tool
- All Integrated into the Paths Tool. - Check out my 30 second runthrough of the Paths Tool and related functions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sgI8rCRLbQ
41 Vertical type tool
42 Horizontal type mask tool
43 Vertical type mask tool
- Not implemented, these would be neat, but to be honest the Text tool
needs a serious overhaul anyway.
- Check out Inkscape.org for vertical text, and a much better and more
versatile vector text system, and easy masks that don't need separate
tools. Turn any text into a mask in two clicks.
44 Path selection tool
45 Direct Selection tool
- Windows > Dockable Dialogues > Paths
- Click on the first empty box beside your path to show it. It's now
selectable with the Paths Tool.
46 Rectangle Tool - Feel free to impliment. This would be useful. - See Inkscape.org for a current solution that works great.
47 Rounded Rectangle tool - If you impliment this, please make it part of the rectangle tool. There is no point at all to having separate tools. :P - Inkscape.org again :) It's like Adobe Illustrator.
48 Ellipse tool
- Feel free to impliment
49 Polygon tool
- Paths tool already does this. I don't know why Adobe made a separate
tool for this. It's unnecessary clutter. :)
50 Line tool - Paths tool... (hit b to end your line and start a new separate one)
51 Custom shape tool
- Would be cool to see in GIMP
- Check out the Polygon and Star Tool (Inkscape.org)
53 Rotate view tool - View > Rotate (also Ctrl + Shift + Middle Mouse Button)
58 Masking - Really? Gimp has more Masking options than the Carnival of Venice. ;P - Check out Quick Mask and Layer > Mask > Add Layer Mask - Also check out Mask to Selection, and Selction to Path.
59 Mode change in to CMYK - Feel free to try to impliment, but read this first: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CMYK_support_in_The_GIMP - Check out Scribus for conversion into CMYK (FOGRA 27 is the default, but you can add your own color profiles if that's not working for you)
Hope it helps. :)

GIMP is an open source software project, which means you are free to modify it as you like and use it for any purpose in accordance with this license http://www.gimp.org/about/COPYING
To modify GIMP, the easiest way is probably to download the source code repositories from git:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp
Other relevant developer information can be found here:
It might also be noted that GIMP is a very large and very complex program with a LOT of features. Before you invest the time to modify anything, it's probably a good idea to explore whether or not the changes you want to make are necessary for your project. Often you can achieve what you need with features that GIMP comes with, or by writing extensions rather than trying to change GIMP's core code.
If the features that you want are not present you can always suggest them to the community as well, some ideas are popular enough to make it into the project.
Welcome to the GIMP community, and good luck. :)

Usuage of the Gimp for my Organization
Sounds good. :) As a professional graphic designer with 10+ years of Photoshop experience, and 8+ years of GIMP experience, I can almost guarantee that your staff's time would be better spent learning how to use GIMP to do the work needed rather than try to achieve feature-parity with Photoshop. GIMP will never have all the features of Photoshop, and Photoshop will never have all the features of GIMP.
It is important to note that GIMP was not designed to be a copy of
Photoshop.
Although most features have a relative equivalent, GIMP is a different
program with different conventions and different graphics workflows.
I was able to switch my graphics workflow to GIMP + Inkscape + Scribus, and extend it dramatically with Krita and Blender 3D. All these programs are FOSS (Free software), and allow an incredible degree of creative freedom I could only dream of before.
To use GIMP and other Free software in a professional workflow takes
outside-the-box thinking, and an adventurous spirit, as does learning any
new professional toolset.
For me, it required some patience, remembering that the effort I put into
learning to use Photoshop as a professional design tool would be needed
again in learning to use GIMP as a professional design tool.
In my case, the payoff of having a free and evolving graphics environment that is cross-platform and free of proprietary license restrictions has been tremendous.
Luckily, as you've seen there is a large community of people happy to help get over any rough spots you encounter. As a beneficiary of all the help in the community, it's my pleasure to give the same.
Do let me know if you have more questions, and good luck to your team. :)
