ABSTRACT	In this paper, we examine the architecture of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) from two separate points of view. We begin by constructing a conceptual architecture using available developer documentation. We then describe the GIMP’s control flow based on our conceptual architecture and describe how the architecture allows for the extensibility of the GIMP. The conceptual architecture is then compared to the concrete architecture, the architecture defined by the implementation of the system. We present a landscape diagram as a visual representation of the GIMP’s concrete architecture. Our analysis decomposes the concrete architecture into major top-level components and provides a sub-architectural analysis of	SVM HeaderParse 0.2
