Overall, I would highly recommend Gimp to anyone in need of a powerful and flexible image editing tool. While it can be challenging to navigate at first, I have found that with practice and experimentation, Gimp offers a wealth of tools and features that allow me to achieve my desired editing outcomes. I appreciate the platform's versatility, customization options, and strong community support. My overall experience using Gimp for image editing has been very positive. Outdated UI - Some tools (shrink, selection) are way more complex and time-consuming - Sometimes the exported result is not of the requested quality(maybe that depends on the user’s skills level) - Absence of Shapes tool which is helpful in Photoshop Easy installation - Open-source/free software - Includes almost all the essential Photoshop tools CONS Concluding, I would totally recommend GIMP as a Photoshop alternative for simple daily image editing tasks, but I’m not sure if that’s the right tool for professionals. Pros - Easy installation - Open-source/free software - Includes almost all the essential Photoshop tools Cons - Outdated UI - Some tools (shrink, selection) are way more complex and time-consuming - Sometimes the exported result is not of the requested quality(maybe that depends on the user’s skills level) - Absence of Shapes tool which is helpful in Photoshop My comments are about version GIMP 2.10.32. Judging by my overall experience these are the (+) and (-). More complex tasks such as object selection, cloning, shrinking/growing area, etc. GIMP is suitable for daily micro-tasks such as resizing, blurring, cropping, layers management, rotating, scaling, and background erasing. Although it is a nice Photoshop alternative that copies almost all of its tools, it is obvious that the user interface has a way weaker design, but for an open-source free software, it offers a decent solution.
