A useful software for those who aren't an expert graphic designer

What do you like best? I'm not a professional graphic designer, but with GIMP I can easily get the results I want and feel satisfied. It's also a free and open-source raster graphics editor (a very important factor for small company and professionals). Io non sono un grafico professionista, ma con GIMP riesco a ottenere facilmente i risultati che voglio e mi ritengo soddisfatto. Inoltre è un editor di grafica open-source e gratuito (un fattore molto importante per le piccole aziende e ...

Good Graphic Image Editing Tool And Its Free

What do you like best? GIMP is the only free editing tool I use that has features like photoshop. It is easy to use and pretty straightforward.

What do you dislike? Its not GIMP, but on how most people, even some of my team all use Photoshop. So I still use Photoshop because of it. If only GIMP ...

Soluzione gratuita e completa ma con molti compromessi

What do you like best? L'aspetto positivo più importante è che GIMP è gratuito e tutto sommato abbastanza completo nelle funzionalità. What do you dislike? L'interfaccia utente è poco intuitiva, sembrerebbe in parte scopiazzata da altri software come Photoshop ma con un risultato decisamente poco riuscito. Le aree di lavoro e le funzioni suddivise in finestre separate sono scomode. Le shortcut non standard rendono poco veloce l'apprendimento delle funzioni rapide. Inoltre ho notato che ...

Like Photoshop but Free!

What do you like best? The fact that it is a free program with all the capability of photoshop. It's basically the same. What do you dislike? Limited CMYK functionality which means print design is limited/more difficult. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The ability to do professional-grade graphic design without the outrageous cost of photoshop.

The "free version" of photoshop

What do you like best? I like the fact that if you have the skill, you can easily work as you can work with adobe photoshop. What do you dislike?

Best tool for graphics

What do you like best? This tool enables almost to anyone to create design elements, icons, and more. Super easy to use and totally free. Perfect for Linux users. The free version is so complete that you probably don't need a paid version What do you dislike? Doesn't allow collaboration, data visualization and the creation of a image database. It's easy to use, but it has a small learning curve at the beginning. Recommendations to others considering the product: Install the tool ...

GIMP like most software that started off linux environment has an unattractive user interface with a repulsive default grey colour and fonts.
