GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) Reviews

Its ability to fulfil low level editing necessities

The dashboard, lack of functionality and compatibility with photoshop files (or the ease to import such in the event this is possible).

How close it was to P. Shop and it was free

Some learning curve on my behalf with learning layers

Creating a satisfying moment starts with keeping a record of it. GIMP helps me value every second of my life by creating a design element and scripted images. It is quite easy to use and implement. The dashboard will amaze you.

It requires great attention to master every bit of this tool inorder to build a perfect design. Also, knowledge in at least one programming language is needed for a great design. All thanks to the free trial, it is a great learning experience.

Easy tools and easy correction done on the image.

Compare to Adobe Photoshop tools are less.

GIMP is really great for image editing and creating bit maps and texture maps from already created images. The tools offered by GIMP are very useful when designing vector graphics.

While GIMP is great, it does lack more premium features offered by other graphic design tools.

It allows you to manipulate images in a simple way, giving us a series of editing tools, in addition to handling a series of formats with their respective options, which allows you to generate the image according to your needs.

There are some actions that become complex to perform, because compared to other software, there are no tools that can be used to perform them.

I like the thousands of tools and images offered.I like the ease of use The help files and the tutorialThe fact that it is free and a very good competitor to Adobe Photoshop

The loading time that it takes the program to open. That is the only thing I dislike about GIMP.It is basically a very good program

I love this program. It's very easy to use, loads of options. And its free. I also like that the app is cross platform.

I would love the API to work properly, but the developers are working on it.

GIMP does what "theirs" does for free. The interface is easier to navigate than the competing products. Many add-ons are available for free or to purchase reasonably, making it customizable.

Sometimes processing of multiple changes to large images or multiple layers takes a while to complete, but this is still only seconds.

Gimp is a lot easier to use than some of the other software's that's on the market. You can create many different things and there are tons of videos on how to use the software.

That you have to dock most of the UI stuff.

With GIMP you can add and customize text within your designs and you can easily remove flaws and enhance details. GIMP has a wide range of tools and incredible features. It is easy to use even for the new employees.

It lacks some advanced illustrator tools, but all in all it's an amazing software.

Extremely easy to use with the user interface being simple to find tools you want to use when editing images.

Its difficult to find something to dislike about a program which is free, however, the only items which isn't ideal is when working with layers, you have to select the layer you wish to save as the image.

Photoshop-like features and ease of use.

It has many similarities to photoshop but is not quite as flexible

It is highly accessible and useful for a variety of projects.

There is a decent learning curve when you haven't used any comparable editing software.

Usually when you have a free alternative to any program, you expect it to be sub-par, but GIMP is free and perfect for people like me who don't need extensive graphic design tools (though I've heard it's quite good in that regard), but just need a functional form of the basics. I use it primarily for outlining parcels, and editing real estate images. Any local business that does marketing of any kind would benefit from using GIMP -- sometimes pricy programs simply aren't needed, and GIMP is a lifesaver in that regard.

I do feel like there is a bit of learning curve, one that I've found to be more difficult that paid image editing programs. While shortcuts make things easier for every program, if feels absolutely crucial to know them for GIMP, otherwise each task can feel laborious. I also feel like the UI for browsing for a file is way too out-of-date... I always click and drag from my file explorer.

It's virtually identical in form and function to Photoshop, and it's a great way to achieve the same results at virtually no cost.

GIMP has a steep learning curve, similar to that of Photoshop, which may require some time and effort to master. If you're coming from Photoshop, you will have to relearn tool shortcuts and other functions that are necessary to avoid copyright issues.

I like the fact that anyone can use Gimp without true knowledge of graphic designing. It is easy to use, and allow to learn very fast.

Some features might be missing sometimes, but honestly it is a very good tool.

I like that it's free and very easy to use.

I don't have any dislike about GIMP software

I've used Photoshop for over 20 years, and I still use it now, but anytime I get a request for software recommendations, my first suggestion is GIMP.

The toolbars and context menus are sometimes unorganized, but that may be a preference issue.
