GIMP Reviews & Product Details

It's free, works on windows, and other operating systems. It works great and is easy to use! A great alternative if you don't want to pay for Photoshop.

It's not quite as good as Photoshop but in my opinion it does almost just as good of a job. It's free so it honestly comes pretty close to Photoshop.

Image editing and improving image quality. Resizing of images.

The best part of GIMP is that its open source and has the features of photoshop. Before switching to Gimp, we're using photoshop which is quite expensive. When switched, I was surprised to see all tool sets in gimp. It's super lite and comes with all tools, effects and essentials one need to edit photos and create vectors. Also, one should speak about the performance it provides. It works well on 1gb ram powered pcs without any hassle and exports outputs without issues.

There are some bugs in exporting options. While saving the file as png or jpg, it fails to work. There is a bug in it. But other than that, the old school look of UI is something should be updated. Those are some cons to be solved. Other than GIMP is highly recommended for everyone.

With Gimp, I've edited photos, created thumbnails, logos and other vectors needs of my company. It's open source and compatible on low end pcs. It's opensource and free. It's easy to install and work alike photoshop. Above all, the performance is much better than other tools like affinity. That's the plus.

Did I mention Free? And it works well? The interface is a bit dense and the terminology can be daunting. However, for most photo editing tasks GIMP will do the job quite well and simple Google searches walk you through the steps. The developers keep it up to date and it has a very good selection of tools and sub-attributes like fonts, brushes and export options among many others. I find that most tools are not intuitively easy to use but there is an abundance of youtube videos available that help with any project.

The interface is crowded and if you do not know the terminology, it can be difficult to do simple tasks. It is not as easy for beginners as an application like Photoshop. The application's Help isn't easy for the novice user to read. I find I have to use Google to learn how to do new tasks. It is not intuitive and some tools are overly buried.

Creating custom images for marketing purposes, editing images for user guides and creating poster sized images. Also used to make GIF images for tutorials and virtual backgrounds for corporate purposes.

Best of all, it's FREE to use! Possibly one of the best open source alternative to a high end product that I've ever used.

Photoshop has some great filters/presets that professionals offer as packages (free or paid for), but you can't use these in GIMP. Also, if you know either GIMP or Photoshop, it's a little difficult to switch between them, because things are called something a little different or in a slightly different place. Not impossible though.

Whether a quick photo edit or a full-fledged graphic design project, it's a great tool. I mostly use it for creating/editing icons for presentations, or creating various version of logos.

- It just works! It has plenty of tools to edit and improve the quality of your photos. - Its architecture allows the creation and use of plug-ins to do interesting things (like filters, automatized work-flow operations, etc). - It's free software, so you can download, install and use it with no worries about what the license allows and what doesn't. - It's multi-platform, so you can install and use it on Windows, MacOS X, GNU/Linux up to Sun OpenSolaris and FreeBSD. - It's lightweight and it's hardware requirements are not high.

- It could look hard to use for non expert users, but it is not different from other famous (and proprietary) software. - Recent updates changed the way the software saves images. Now the "Save" command saves the file only in its own native .XCF format. If you want to save the file in one of the common image formats, such as .JPG or .PNG, you have to use the "export" command, while in the previous version the "save" command did the whole job. I liked the old behaviour...

Everything related to image editing, from simple correction (like crop, rotation, perspective correction and light/color correction...) to advanced manipulation (like restoration of old photos from a scanner, photo-collages, addition of text, etc) GIMP can manage all image formats, and can import files even in non-raster formats (suche as PDF pages, as an example).

The best thing is obviously that GIMP is free. But still it is kept up to date, for example it supports the new image format AVIF that other competitors do not support. GIMP has lots of features and I did not found anything I could not do with it. The community is really big, so if there are some issues you've just to ask for help and someone is always there happy to help. Moreover you can install GIMP on your operating system of choice, since it is available on Windows, Mac and Linux.

The user interface takes a little time to get used to, but once you are accustomed to it, you begin to like it. If you are new to image manipulation you might take more time to begin to understand GIMP, but there are lots and lots of tutorials on the web.

Basic image manipulation for Blog entries. Creating Logos for Websites, remove background on pictures.

GIMP is an ally for image editing, generally in the company we must issue internal and external information flyers about our products and services, and for us to maintain our social networks with real but quality images. Therefore, our Project Management department, we all have this App on our cell phone, because every moment counts and if it is documented it must have the quality that is required.

GIMP is a Software with a very simple and easy-to-use interface, you just have to let your previous knowledge direct you, I have never found anything negative in this software

GIMP is ideal for small businesses because it is free and they can also create quality logos and advertising with professional style easily and immediately, in addition to that you can save different extensions so you can play with the designs whenever you want, really to us It has made our lives easier, editing images has never been easier.

It is downloadable software designed for rich functions such as graphical editing, image composition, drawing, and other designing functions. It helps its user to enhance their productivity by allowing the user to create variants of icons, images, etc using various tools such as airbrush, pencil, erasers, different shapes and objects such as rectangle, square, circle etc, and color palettes with a wide range of colors. It also allows user to save their designs in various file formats including JPEG, GIF, TGA, PDF, etc. A user can install plug-ins for additional advanced tools.

Due to a vast range of tools and availability of complex menu and functions users are facing a lot of issues while using it as they are not able to understand it easily due to its complexity. If you are unfamiliar and new to it you have to find helpful stuff and tutorials for learning it.

This open-source graphical editing environment is an easy user-interface where a user can compose graphical designs, and perform other functions like pixels adjustment for producing high-quality images, using advanced features like cloning, blur option, mask, etc and the user is allowed to suggest different customization to the software developers for its functional improvements. Windows MS, Mac, Open Solaris and Linux are its deployment targets, and it can support various computer programming languages including C++, CSS, HTML, PYTHON, etc.

Gimp has most of the features of Photoshop and its completely free. This can be a lifesaver when you're working on projects and when you need to quickly edit a photo. I personally find that for someone who just needs basic features it solves my needs. I also like that the program supports numerous file types and makes it easy for me to convert files to formats that I need. It's also great for compressing images or resizing them down which tends to be an issue whenever I want to send an email or post something on a website. The software is really stable too and doesn't use up too much RAM which is nice.

For my needs Gimp actually is really effective so I don't really have any dislikes about it. One thing it probably cannot do as simple as Photoshop is open as many files with some CPU slowdown, I remember having tons of files open on Photoshop at a time and sometimes Gimp might slow down if there is too many files open so I had to shift to focusing on the tasks at hand instead.

Gimp helps me solve quick photo editing problems mainly for e-mail marketing and for social media purposes as well as blog posts and general photo editing needs. The many different tools available in the program saves me time from having to load multiple different programs or websites to edit files which I appreciate.

Gimp has all of the tools that you are used to from other photo editing apps like Photoshop. It does an amazing job of keeping up with the times and adding in new tools. The animation add-on for the program is also pretty sweet. I use this primarily on the Mac and up until a couple years ago it was a bit of a bear. They added in single window mode though so everything is now a lot more manageable.

Personally, there isn't anything that I do not like. I have spoken to others though and I think the biggest problem for the average user is the availability of editing tools. They often get overwhelmed by the amount of choices within the application.

We use GIMP on a daily basis to edit images for display on our website and we also use it to create classroom resources.
