GIMP Reviews & Product Details

It's a free alternative to photoshop, works quite similar

Windows placement, messy placing. You need to get used to it.

Image editing, mounting layers, etc

This is a great alternative to Adobe Photoshop. It features a lot of the same features as Photoshop, like paint tools, graphic design tools, and photo editing tools. It’s great for editing photos if you need to perform more advanced edits like layers, masks, and levels. It also works well on Linux, and although I use Apple for work, I can see that being a plus for some. It’s easy to customize your workspace how you need it.

Like other advanced photo editing software, Gimp is a bit complex and can take a while to learn. It also doesn’t have all of the features Photoshop has, like adjustment layers. It also doesn’t allow you to easily process RAW photo files.

Gimp is extremely cost effective for a business compared to Photoshop. It’s free! It also is fairly easy to use, especially for professionals that have already used similar photo editing software. The fact that it is open-source allows a lot of freedom and customization and Gimp has a lot of potential to be a powerful editing software for designers and photo editors such as myself.

I like that gimp is free and has many different custom plugins and add ons to help aid you in your design process. Gimp is also updated frequently you they are constantly adding improvements and new features.

One that that I really dislike about gimp is that it does not offer a feature for adjustment layers or grouping layers together. Also, some feature can be slow at times and have glitches.

I use gimp as a free alternative to my other editing and design software.

Provides us a good alternative for creating / modifying images

It's not the most user friendly. Unless you use the tool daily, it takes a little effort to make use smooth.

We're using the tool to hep in creating images for presentations, sites, etc.

The tools for scaling and image size are great if you have a set image size in mind that you need to resize and sample an image for

The layout and color/other editing tools do not do as much as other software’s

It’s cheaper than Photoshop and works fine for basic photo editing

It is so easy to use and understand. I had never used gimp until this year when my boss asked me to create new files for us.

As far as the experience I have with it, it feel a bit limited and outdated.

I am converting drawings into PGM files, and creating simple word designs in GIMP.

I like GIMP because this software is completely free. You can download it and if this is not right for you, you can just delete it and move on. You can use this software on many platforms including Linux, Windows, OSX, etc, which is good thing if you use more than one platform. As long as you know how to use it, this can be a very powerful image manipulation program.

I dislike GIMP because it is kind of difficult to learn. For someone like me who has been using Photoshop for years, you have to learn everything from the beginning and it took me hours to use basic techniques. And another issue is that the software can be buggy from time to time and there is nothing you can do about it, since there is no quality assurance team.

As I mentioned above, there are times l have to use the Photoshop but I don't have my own computer with me, and most of times, GIMP is the only option I have because the software is totally free and runs on any platforms, and because the file size is so small I can download it without hassle.

How very similar to photoshop it is, and how much cheaper it is for the same capabilities.

It's not as user friendly as Photoshop, has a learning curve.

Being able to access it at such low cost, means that I'm able to use this in my classroom setup without having to worry about the extra cost of sharing with my students.

You can do some basic (and some advanced) functions through GIMP, and for free!

Iit's quite difficult, if you're used to Photoshop. Requires a lot of plugins downloaded to make it work.

We needed basic photo editing, and didn't have enough photoshop licenses for the entire office. GIMP let our marketing teams still do what they need.

I use this solution primarily to edit photos for size and cropping. For those two uses, gimp is super easy and efficient. It was easy to learn the commands and makes for quick edits. A great product, and free to use!

There is so much to this product that I could go to a tutorial or class to learn it in-depth. I have not heard of any such thing, so perhaps more publicity about potential training would be helpful.

Editing photos for our site, paring down in size or cropping as needed.

I like that it's a free alternative to Photoshop. Many of the tools appear to be the same, which is helpful.

Since it's not an Adobe product, it doesn't work with the Adobe Creative Cloud. This hinders me a little, especially since I can easily put PSD files into my other programs. It's also clunky compared to Photoshop, but it's free, so I can't complain.

I used this before I could afford to pay the monthly subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. It worked good enough to edit photos and create the graphics that I needed to

It is free and has a lot of advanced features.

Lack of non-distructive editing features (eg. adjustment layers). Lack of CMYK color space. This is a deal-breaker for people working in print.

Quickly retouching images, especially on portraits.

Easy layout, perfect fit to page layout.

Drawing flexible arrows, Cropping the image

Enhancing the Engineering presentations quality. Quick to learn easy to use. More flexible compared power point

user friendly. shares quickly. like this product the best due to the availability from the employer.

loads slower than used to.prefer something that works faster.

sharing quicker and easier.

L'aspetto positivo più importante è che GIMP è gratuito e tutto sommato abbastanza completo nelle funzionalità.

L'interfaccia utente è poco intuitiva, sembrerebbe in parte scopiazzata da altri software come Photoshop ma con un risultato decisamente poco riuscito. Le aree di lavoro e le funzioni suddivise in finestre separate sono scomode. Le shortcut non standard rendono poco veloce l'apprendimento delle funzioni rapide. Inoltre ho notato che spesso per motivi diversi il programma si blocca o va in crash.

Ho usato GIMP per realizzare piccoli progetti di grafica e lavori di photo editing. Usato principalmente per apportare piccole modifiche al formato o al colore.

I liked that I did not have to pay to use GIMP.

It is more limited in comparison to Adobe Photoshop.

I solved the issue of needing a program to use for quick creative editing.

The software is just ok. I mean it does the job, but it’s not my favorite.

Compared to other programs, the tools are more difficult to learn and use. I like it, but don’t love it!

Basic photo editing and graphic work.

To be fair, I'm coming from years of Photoshop so gimp is a pretty difficult transition. I like that it's free and make editing graphics easier than trying to do it online.

Hot keys in photoshop make sense. B = Brush. In Gimp? B = Paths tool... but P= Brush (paintbrush) and N = Pencil. It's definitely more limited in what it can do than PS BUT it is free. Some of the copy/paste functions get wonky as well, choosing to open in a new window instead of just pasting in the same window.

I use gimp at work to quickly edit graphics to use for flyers and posters.

It's free and does a good enough job for the that I haven't had the need to use anything else

It is very difficult to do anything. I spend a lot of time searching the help scrub to do really simple tasks

I use it mostly to resize or format ads and images.

It’s a great free program for sketches and mockups. You can knock out a simple design quickly with this program.

It is nowhere as streamlined or clean as Photoshop. Sensitivity of brushes isn’t as good, and can be frustrating using the shortcuts that don’t seem to have been planned with the user in mind.

I have used it in the past for photo touch ups and some quick design sketches.
