Increible editor de graficos de codigo libre

What do you like best? Gimp allows me to create incredible designs, it is software that I can install on any type of computer, it does not consume many resources and it has a lot of free plugins on the web, something that I really like about gimp is that I can design logos and save them in the format you want. What do you dislike? The Gimp interface is easy to use even though it is sometimes a bit confusing, it is also a limited tool to create 3d designs. Recommendations to others ...

GIMP is a photo editing software with great value for me

What do you like best? GIMP is a desktop application with excellent tools for image editing, and it has no cost, it is completely free. It is ideal for quick edits like cropping, resizing, and retouching photos. Also, you can import and export images of different formats. What do you dislike? I would like the portable version to also be available for Mac. Recommendations to others considering the product: If you are a professional, student or user who needs to edit images on ...

Ideal tool to create designs at low cost.

What do you like best? It has excellent tools with which I can create all kinds of designs, its interface is light and it also has excellent options for light, brightness and contrast. What do you dislike? At first I had a hard time adapting to its interface since it is very different from editors like photoshop, however it is very powerful and it is worth learning how to use it. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? In the design ...

My experience wih GIMP

What do you like best? GIMP is a complete image editing program. The myth that free stuff is of poor quality is completely false. GIMP is a totally free program that offers you the benefits of another program such as a paid one like Abobe Photoshop. What I like most about this program is the amount of tools that the program offers you in order to achieve an exceptional, professional and finally unique result. Another thing I like is that no image editing knowledge is required to use the ...

Hugely capable Open Source image tool

What do you like best? Powerful image editing tool for when I've got an image edit task and don't want to ask the boss to buy Photoshop. Works great and more features than I will ever learn or use. What do you dislike? Gosh, can't complain. I mean, it's free. I guess it's hard to copy the functions of commercial tools I've purchased for home use, but it does take some thinking to remember the equivalents in each different image editor. What problems are you solving with the ...

My experience with GIMP

What do you like best? The translator called GIMP is an image editing program. . What I like most about this program is that it is free. The free softwares are usually simple and with few functions. But with GIMP this is not the case. It has almost the same functions as the paid Photoshop program. Finally what I also like is that it is easy to download and has a portable version. What do you dislike? As I said before, GIMP is a spectacular program but like any program it has its ...

Best open source tool for raster graphics

What do you like best? The best feature I like about Gimp is the magic wand tool. It does work exactly like magic and allows the user to fuzzy select parts of image based on varying color intensities. This is amazing for many reasons because it allows you to add certain professional effects to the image, custom crop parts of image, etc. What do you dislike? The UI of this tool is very dated. It needs a complete makeover. The app overall is very functional and offers most of the ...

My experience with GIMP

What do you like best? GIMP is an editing program that as the days go by becomes more popular among publishers. GIMP is a totally free program. What I like most about GIMP is that it does not matter if it is a program that does not cost money, it has the same options as its competitors, which are also paid. What I like the most is the ability of the program to achieve a professional result without knowledge. What do you dislike? GIMP, like all programs, has its disadvantages and ...
