The best imaging software

What do you like best? I like the free licence option. I also like the fact that it has plugins you can install that are the same and sometimes better than the expensive programmes on the market. It is easy to use and each tool comes with a description of how to use it or where you can use it. Not only is the programme great, but there are many videos and tutorials available online on how to use the programme teaching you new skills or inspiring new creatives for any project. We use Gimp ...

Free IS better

What do you like best? The price is the first attraction. Ease of use is next What do you dislike? Menus are not the same as PS. This is not surprising because it is a different program. I know the tool is there, sometimes I have to look for it longer than I think I should. Recommendations to others considering the product: Looking for an alternative to Photo Shop - Look no further. GIMP has everything you need. A wide community of user who are quick to offer help and support. ...

Gimp is a great for the price

What do you like best? First off Gimp is free! You can now alter images, remove backgrounds, resize, and compress for free. No monthly payments, no attributes — it really is free. Fairly simple tool and can do pretty much all your photo editing. It has all the basic software editing tools and because of the cost you don't feel like you aren't getting your monies worth if you seldom use it or only use a few tools. What do you dislike? The documentation is not user friendly. Pages and ...

Amazing free photo-editing software

What do you like best? I find the photo manipulation tools to be very useful. What do you dislike? Some of the functionality used on other software such as Adobe Photoshop is not available. However, as this is free, it is an excellent option. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? For mailouts and email newsletters, we are able to create crisp and vibrant imagery that appeals to our audiences.

Gimp es la mejor opción libre para diseño gráfico

What do you like best? Lo mejor de Gimp es la cantidad de herramientas de diseño de imágenes estáticas y de animaciones de gif que ofrece. De verdad Gimp no tiene mucho que envidiar a gran cantidad de programas de licenciamiento pagado en cuanto a herramientas disponibles, iniciando con herramientas básicas como formas y selecciones, pasando por operaciones booleanas con capas y hasta el uso de guiones automatizados para la creación sencilla de logos, botones y más. En Resumen sus ...

Recommendations to others considering the product: Take time to figure out how to use the darn thing. Don't try to take shortcuts. What problems are you solving with the product?
