The Gnu Image Manipulation Project, or GIMP, is a well-known alternative to Photoshop, given its affordability and similar features, including the ability to work with professional layers and fine-tune snap functionality. GIMP has a full photo editing interface available which you can customize to suit your needs. It features photo enhancement features that allow users to fix perspective distortion and explore filters. Digital retouching tools are also available, and users can save work in multiple file formats, including PNG, TIFF, and GIF. Because the GIMP environment is powered by a community of developers, you can expect a lot of regular updates and new features as well.

Puedo realizar prácticamente las mismas tareas que realizo cono otros programas
Nada en especial, cubre todas las necesidades
Transparencias, retoques, etc.
I have been using gimp for 12 years and since the start itself it was really user friendly, the UI is great, tools have improved quite a lot, and the added plugins improve the usability
Nothing i could say , for a novice user like me this is even better than learning photoshop. There used to be a bug that is gimp crashing while startup but now it's corrected and updated
Editing photos, making logos, photo resizing , background changing, layers, adding gradients, touching up the image and all.
I love GIMP. We use it as a free alternative to Photoshop for the majority of our marketing team. It is easy to learn and makes repeatable tasks with a non-designer a snap. It is easy to install, train others and use. It is nearly as powerful as the alternative which makes design tasks easy. Things like changing file formats, colors and making transparent background on images are much easier with GIMP than alternatives.
There is not the community that you get with Photoshop online. People post tutorials, but it takes more time to find answers. Also, there is no phone app that really works well for quick on-the-go tasks. If the GIMP community would build one - or an online version that would be wonderful, and I'd probably move away from Photoshop. There needs to be more development focus that makes illustrator - not just photoshop - irrelevant.
GIMP helps us with more than half of our image design needs for field marketers, web designers and other marketers who need images quickly and efficiently. We have a few designers on competitive products, but GIMP meets the needs of 90% of use cases.
GIMP is like Photoshop, without the hefty price tag associated. It can do almost anything you need for digital image manipulation and processing, and has tons of features and add-ins that make it indispensable.
For someone coming from Photoshop, the user interface can take some getting used to. There are also some features missing, and it may be a bit more unpolished (e.g. bugs) than Photoshop. However, for the price it is hard to beat.
For image processing and manipulation, GIMP is helpful. For example, producing figures for papers and presentations, performing pixel-level analysis of images, some types of image processing such as thresholding, FFTs, etc.
1. GIMP has a customizable and flexible interface. 2. I like its foreground selection tool and retouching tools allowing me to retouch photos promptly and get professional results. 3. I like its feature of adding layer masks, and grouping layers together.
GImp doesn't currently support full CMYK color modes, so all your images are edited in the RGB color space and thus may not properly display if you want to print your work. It also lacks in non-destructive editing feature.
1. I used it to edit and improve the visual quality of social media posts and it significantly improved the traffic. 2. GIMP also contains a plugin for Photoshop.
I love that gimp is accessible and free. It is the best photo editor.
I haven't come across any dislikes yet it is all I could ask for
I have no problems with Gimp. The benefit of using it is it will do everything photoshop can but for free
I've used GIMP for years and it makes it easy to quickly edit and format graphics for web content.
The UI takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you learn where things are located, it works well.
I use GIMP to easily resize and format images.
GIMP is very easy to use and there are many online tutorials that will help you achieve your goal.
The layering capabilites could use improvement
GIMP is useful to edit preliminary building layouts for customers
I enjoy all the different options you have in editing a photo. The tool to freestyle crop a face or part of a picture is my most used feature
The tools can be difficult to learn and become good at using. It would be helpful for more onscreen tips instead of relying on outside tutorials.
I have created custom content that can be used for a multitude of different projects.
This is simple to use and it is FREE! It has more advanced tools that I've not used yet.
So far there's been no downside, I've been able to find what I need in help.
I'm not a graphic artist and I needed a way to manipulate some pictures for documentation.
The thing I like best is that it is free
The thing I dislike is that it can be a bit overwhelming at first
The problem I am solving is needing to do quick image edits
GIMP is open-source applications. Which helps to manipulate raster based images. This is the best alternative software for Adobe photoshop or any other paid software.
I don't find any negative points about this software. This is great alternatives for any of the paid software out there in market. Although I struggle to handle the layers in GIMP. But overall it's a great application
I use this software instead of photoshop. As it is a best open source for editing raster images. I use this software to edit my day to day graphics works. Such as image manipulation and most of the time for quick banner deign I use this app a lot.
Gimp is free and easy to use for even someone with no experience. I have been using Gimp at work for many years to create different visuals for my responsibilities at the office.
Gimp seems not to be commonly used. None of my coworkers had heard of this program, so I think it has not gained much traction yet. On the other hand, I think it is lovely to use and work with.
Gimp helps me solve the problem of needing creative visuals that can not be done in simple MS paint or similar free and simple programs. Gimp allows much more control over colors, textures and more.
Same capabilities to edit and fine-tune images just like bigger name paid alternative software
Sometimes the program itself can become unstable when system resources are low
Quick touch-ups and solutions for creativity when paid software is unavailable for use.
I love the immeasurable saving with a true likeness to Photoshop. It saves money for those just starting out, especially for business purposes.
There are times that I can't find clear instructions and find myself having to go online and search for video tutorials.
I discontinued my Adobe membership and had been looking for a less expensive alternative as I started up a new small business. Cutting costs was most important to me.
I downloaded Gimp when I was just playing around with design and not sure if it was something I wanted to pursue. It's not as high quality as Photoshop, but it got the job done. I've now been designing for years and use photoshop primarily, but still use Gimp for some features that photoshop doesn't have!
It is just a little glitchy, and would sometimes crash my old computer. It's lacking some features that Photoshop has as well. But hey, you get what you pay for!
Creating PNGs, editing images, designing, editing flyers. It's budget-friendly and allows you to design without the commitment of purchasing an Adobe subscription.
Easy to use, free and open source project
GIMP doesn't looks good on my 4k 17 inch laptop monitor with 200% scale
Scale images, cuttings parts of image.
GIMP is a fantastic, FREE alternative to photoshop. It features an extensive range of tools available, as well as customizable brushes, filters, and automatic image-enhancement tools. There's also support for plug-ins that you can download if you wish.
I found the interface cluttered and overwhelming, to begin with, but soon got familiar with it.
It's saved me the cost of having to purchase a license for Photoshop.
GIMP is really useful if you are starting out in photo editing, design, or creation of other projects. It's useful, thanks to many different capabilities that include those found in more advanced, purchasable softwares, while also keeping it user friendly for anyone in a business (such as our small radio company) to utilize.
Its still not a grand, expensive program for art creation, photo editing or logo/brand creation, and that comes with limitations. Its not perfect, but for the whopping price of FREE, how can you beat the customization, accessibility, etc.? You can't beat it.
Creating art for advertisements, editing photos for the radio station and creating brand logos for the company itself. GIMP has solved the problem of us not needing/being able to purchase higher-end, more expensive software, while giving us EVERYTHING we need.
Gimp has all the features of something like Photoshop, but for free! I'm always amazed at how feature-rich it is and how it didn't cost anything. I also find the interface and tools very simple to use. The online community is very active as well which makes finding additional help and resources very easy.
Some tools are a bit fussy sometimes and require a bit more effort to use.
I'm able to recolor assets and create new assets for an app very quickly and easily. I can then promptly export them however I need to.
