Das Gnu Image Manipulation Project oder GIMP ist eine bekannte Alternative zu Photoshop, da es erschwinglich ist und ähnliche Funktionen bietet, einschließlich der Möglichkeit, mit professionellen Ebenen zu arbeiten und die Snap-Funktion zu optimieren. GIMP verfügt über eine vollständige Fotobearbeitungsoberfläche, die Sie an Ihre Bedürfnisse anpassen können. Es verfügt über Fotoverbesserungsfunktionen, mit denen Benutzer perspektivische Verzerrungen korrigieren und Filter erkunden können. Digitale Retuschierwerkzeuge sind ebenfalls verfügbar, und Benutzer können ihre Arbeit in mehreren Dateiformaten speichern, einschließlich PNG, TIFF und GIF. Da die GIMP-Umgebung von einer Community von Entwicklern betrieben wird, können Sie auch viele regelmäßige Updates und neue Funktionen erwarten.

The thing that jumps out at me is the price and the availability. It's free, but it's easy to learn which is software's real cost. Once you learn it, you have it available on the major desktop platforms where it has the same interface.
While it's good as a Photoshop replacement, it doesn't have all of the advanced features found there. Sometimes there isn't an easy way to do what is easy there.
When we need to simply edit some images, convert them or touch them up with a user interface, instead of just an automated script, this shines and can be deployed to multiple machines without needing many expensive licenses.
Intuitive design and easy to edit pictures
Takes up a lot of space for a relatively small program
I have used GIMP to modify images that need a cosmetic update
I like that gimp is available for free when I need an editing tool on the go. My Laptop didn't have adobe and it's nice to have this.
It's not as recognized as adobe in the industry.
I can create graphics and edit pictures for my blog if I'm out of town.
GIMP has almost every tool that's available in Adobe Photoshop...at an open source price! You can do everything from retouching photos to creating new graphics to creating animations. It's truly remarkable. And, you can open and work with PSD files, which is fantastic.
If you aren't already a skilled user of high-powered tools like the Adobe suite, learning how to use GIMP can be daunting. There are sooooo many tools and options that you just can't use if you're not already an expert (or at least intermediate user) before you start. It is most assuredly not for beginners. But if you need stuff like alpha channel support and support for bezier selections, this is the most cost-effective and powerful option.
GIMP is an extremely powerful image processing and editing tool at a much lower cost than anything in the Adobe Creative Suite. It really does everything. There's a large community that creates plugins and other extensions. I use it for quick image editing, to create web and email graphics and to review the PSD files that sometimes get sent to me.
Freeware with alot of community support. My favorite thing is using the 2.9 black skin mod with gimp. Also the editing tools are a bit better in some aspects than Photoshop.
The brushes overall are worse that Photoshop, but tools the warp and distort the image is better. Also I have never been a fan of the segmented ui gimp has. I like a more contained unified ui like Photoshop.
Its another image processing application that is essentially the same as any other, but allows for those without the budget to have features akin to those using more expensive high end applications.
It's a very versatile piece of software when you get to know it. It can handle a lot and I adore the custom pixel by pixel cropping. It's great for logos.
There's a sweetie learning curve. Id love intuitive tutorials built into the program to show you around and help you learn interactively. Also, is very spartan in design and icons don't pop off the screen like other programs I have used. It's not very user friendly but I suppose that's the trade off for how much it can do.
It's amazingly versatile for logo editing for my business.
I really enjoy the fact that you can basically use a painting program similar to Photoshop but without the subscription. For those entering the digital painting field it's a wonderful program to use. It's also structured similarly to photoshop, so if you decide to make the transition you'll have the basics down once you enter the Adobe realm
Honestly it's a bit glitchy depending on if you're using a PC versus a Mac, and I had so many issues getting layers to function properly. It's not necessarily intuitive and there's not a ton of support or tutorials out there since it's technically a free program, so it's a lot of figuring stuff out yourself. I could never get layers to work on my computer (and had others try and failed as well, even though it worked on their computers) so I basically had to paint on one layer.
I was using this while in school when I couldn't afford Photoshop and was able to create a ton of digital projects with it. If our computers are having issues with a recent update or want to teach someone basics of digital painting I still use them for professional projects too!
Gimp is a great alternative to paying for an Adobe subscription to Photoshop
Some of the features aren't as intuitive and the shortcuts aren't the same as Adobe
It's being used for image editing in Graphic Design and Web Design
I like that GIMP is a free shareware graphics program
It’s too bad that GIMP doesn’t have the user-friendly template sets of programs like Photoshop
GIMP is the graphics program our organization can afford
This is free software. Because this software has been around for a long time and has a large user base, it is easy to find answers online for any questions I may have about how to do something.
The user interface is utilitarian. Bit of a learning curve for someone who is not familiar with image manipulation software. Not necessarily harder to use than paid software, however.
GIMP has been useful for marketing and business purposes. For example, when our small law firm needed to make a tweak to our letterhead (reflecting an attorney's additional bar admission), we used GIMP to make the change ourselves, rather than shelling out money to an outside designer.
I like that Gimp is free, and that it is relatively close in user interface to PhotoShop
For those used to PS, Gimp just doesn't have the same capabilities. Also, I don't like that it is desktop-based and have to download it to a computer. It doesn't work for those with netbooks or Chromebooks.
We like Gimp to create quick, professional graphics -- if you know how to use it correctly. There is a bit of a learning curve -- if you're familiar with PS or if you aren't.
I can create my figures for research papers in extremely high resolution and high quality that's required for submission.
I find it somewhat difficult to operate at times, especially since I don't have a background in graphics or design.
I have used GIMP primarily to create high resolution for figures as part of scientific research papers. This is the best software I've found to create these relatively easily and in a variety of file formats that simple software, such as Microsoft PowerPoint, does not offer.
I like the massive amount of features that make it a competitor to Photoshop
The steep learning curve--getting the hang of such a robust application takes a while
Better graphics design with it
Once you learn how to navigate around in GUI, GIMP allows you the perfect platform to easily work your image files. Simple to complex, all aspects of photo editing can be handled in GIMP.
Open, Close, and file saving is very 1990s like.
Low cost to application ratio.
We are able to do all the editing of photos, creating of artwork that we need to with this free product. It gives us more than enough flexibility to take care of all our design needs and it's free!
There is nothing so far that I have wanted to that I have not been able to accomplish with GIMP. It does take some study to be able to understand and use all the functionality and I'm still learning.
We have to work alot with photos, and design artwork, fliers etc, without much of a budget, so it's been great to have a software that is free with which to do this.
GIMP is a very nice application to create logos, simple graphics, or edit pictures. It has a lot of features and is cross-platform.
GIMP is very heavy in its tooling and a bit difficult to use for quick touch ups or quick edits. It is also has a large learning curve for beginners. In addition, its interface does not work well with HiDPI screens.
GIMP is the tool where I make mockups or make quick logos. I've used it in many of my projects to bring a more professional tone to reports or apps. I've really enjoyed some of the benefits, such as its great tool set, which gives me the ability to create shapes, add text, and insert other graphics.
free software to use, tutorials available, easy to get started
learning curve to start to use it, got the job done
Used this to make an icon for a new software, quick and easy to get what I wanted from it
I like that gimp is an open source alternative to photoshop. It’s free and relatively straight forward.
It’s very minimal in tools and in order to recreate effects you need to use multiple tools.
Gimp solves my problem of having to pay for a different service.
Free & cross-platform software, powerful enough to use instead of Photoshop.
Interface can be clunky and feel old. Layer management not as straightforward as in Photoshop.
As a programmer, I use it as a quick editing option.
I like the fact that if you have the skill, you can easily work as you can work with adobe photoshop.
I dislike that it does not have transformation tools and it is a bit unconvinient to use.
I do editing photos for presentations generally.
