All the functionality of a Photoshop for free, but not as polished.

What do you like best? It's free! Adobe's Photoshop's kinda expensive, but GIMP offers all the features at no cost. As long a you understand the concepts of editing photos, you can figure out how to accomplish it with very little effort. Quite powerful enough when you need something more than MS Paint. What do you dislike? I work with Photoshop occasionally enough to be able to do basic operations, but when I started using GIMP, I feel like I had to relearn all the interface again. ...

Great alternative to expensive photo editors

What do you like best? 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 ...

It is faster than other photo editing softwares and consume less space on HDD. What do you dislike? It is a tough job to learn GIMP. As a beginner, I got confused while using it. So I said it is not user friendly. Also it took me a long time to learn simple editig. Recommendations to others considering the product: It is ...

I love

What do you like best? I did a lot of high-level edits with GIMP and didn't find there were adequate characteristics. You can control the improvements well. It has everything, like textures, results. It is also very easy to navigate. It has a lot of characteristics these days / The bars on the right help to change the pictures with color modulation. And you can find what you need to make the photos perfect too, I'm still really happy with the filter. It is great because it is free and ...

The Quality Alternative to Photoshop

What do you like best? I love Gimp! I love that it's accessible to everyone for free so I was able to learn the basics on this program before smoothly transitioning to photoshop for my professional photography. It also has many of the same features, and the sun fare and firefly brushes are a bonus. This software is professional enough to use for paid photoshoots if you practice and know how to use the settings. I also love that you can do compositing and have layers to do so as well ...
