The GIMP is suitable for a variety of image manipulation tasks, including photo retouching, image composition, and image construction. GIMP is an acronym for GNU Image Manipulation Program. For professionals who make their living out of image manipulation, it’s worth spending extra on a tool that is reliable, user-friendly, and accurate.GIMP is a multi-platform photo manipulation tool. Overall, GIMP covers the bases well, it’s great for begginers and it’s free, but given its long years of development and deep resources, Photoshop wins 🏆. It’s cheaper if you combine more Adobe apps, though. In contrast, Photoshop’s basic plan with 100GB of storage costs 20€ per month. It’s free, you can change its source code and distribute your changes. However, GIMP effortlessly works on Linux, OS X, and Windows. Their creative cloud is helpful to save and edit photos from anywhere. If you work remotely like me and own more than one device, Photoshop offers mobile apps. It depends on one’s preference, so this category is a tie. Photoshops tools are well organized, maybe it’s a force of habit, but I struggled to find the right tool I need while using GIMP. UIīoth have a similar layout, but again, Photoshop retakes the win. With one click, I can change the sky, facial expressions, lighting, and much more. However, while GIMP is great for quick photo editing, Photoshop takes editing to another level. Here is the verdict: Featuresīoth have many similar features, such as the Rectangular & Elliptical Selection Tools, The Lasso Tool, and the Magic Wand.
I compared them based on four categories: features, UI, Compatibility, and pricing. For content production, I switched from Adobe XD to Canva, and this month, I’ve been testing GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) to try and replace Photoshop. For graphic design, I successfully replaced Illustrator with Vectornator. Recently I decided to try out cheaper or free alternatives. But all these fantastic tools come with a hefty price of around 50€ per month. Programs such as Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, and Adobe XD are the industry standards when it comes to generating content both for professionals and amateurs. They say that Adobe is a graphic designer’s best friend, offering many digital and print media art tools.
Twenty years later, this program became a part of my daily life. Shortly I discovered that I could manipulate my photos with tons of effects and filters. I clicked on an unfamiliar blue icon with the acronym Ps on it. At the time, owning a digital camera was a big thing, so I took some random photos outside, and I immediately came home to plug the camera into my computer. In the early 2000s, my dad bought me a small Konica Minolta digital camera.
