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. :)
