I also use the Gimp for some work, but white balance is fairly easily done with Picassa as well. In fact I tend to take most photos into it and hit the "I'm feeling Lucky" button - which adjusts white balance, other colour balances and a few other (...)

Though more of a sculpture, without the joint mobility and Technic drive gizmos, it's an interesting design exploration. The head is still somewhat insectoid, but more armored.
