Love the free features of GIMP
What do you like best? It works well with the Surface Pen from Microsoft, and on top of that it is fairly easy to use without having to do alot of tutorials. Also GIMP is free, so you can use it to test the water when it comes to graphic design. What do you dislike? The user interface feels and looks very clunky and outdated. Also it doesn't integrate as well with other graphic design products as anything by Adobe does, nor does it have the update support or customer support that Adobe ...

Easy, userinterface is a little bad.
What do you like best? Of course, the first and best thing I can point out about this software is that it is free. I am impressed with the number of tools that I get for a free photo editor. I'm very much happy to add to that the great selections of photo effects available in the gmic plugin. What do you dislike? I wish that it had some of the functionalities that photoshop has. For one thing, layers can't be clipped together so it's hard for me to take brush techniques and separate ...

Photo editor that's at the top of my list
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product?
