"Opensource yet very powerful image editor"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GIMP?

The good old GIMP!

Before all the AI boom and people started to use web browser editors, GIMP was the only real alternative to Photosop.

It's still very powerful, and very convenient.

Works locally, if you don't want to rely on cloud and have all your files locally.

Extensible with plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GIMP?

It's a bit heavy: if you want to do just a quick change it might take more time to load GIMP than really doing the job.

Also might seem a bit complex at the beginning, as it has a million options, but is quite easy to get used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best open source photo editing tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GIMP?

The favourite part of gimp is that it is free to use and light weight other than any product available in the market. It works on light machines seemlessly which makes it exceptional. The best thing is that gimp support almost all formats which I edit on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GIMP?

It sometimes have technical issues like multilayer selection and and transformations which used to be issue before but recent update has fixed it. The user interface is not very friendly like other alternatives but seemingly does the job. Other than that it is well developed app Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A good free alternative, but I prefer paid alternatives."
3/5
What do you like best about GIMP?

The thing I like best about GIMP is that it is free. I found the interface and the ease of using certain tools is not as intuitive as Photoshop, Luminar or Affinity. It is probably the best option that is Open Source and Free. It has a large amount of features for an open source option, but using them is not as easy as paid options. It could just be me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GIMP?

I find it more confusing that other items. I find it less intuitive, I find that there is a lot that a program like Affinity, Photoshop or Luminar do for me that I actually have to do for myself and have to know how to do. The paid options let me pretend to be a graphic designer and digital creative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Gimp is AWESOME!"
5/5
What do you like best about GIMP?

I think the best part is that it's open source and free to use, and its extensive set of tools and capabilities that rival many paid photo editing software. It offers powerful layering, customizable brushes, and a wide range of filters and effects, making it suitable for both basic and advanced image editing tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GIMP?

The user interface can be somewhat unintuitive and less polished compared to commercial alternatives, which can result in a steeper learning curve for new users. Aside from that, I love everything about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fascinating!"
5/5
What do you like best about GIMP?

I love that GIMP offers a wide variety of tools and features that make the software very complete and effective, it is very useful for Digital Art, It's funcionalty exceeded my expectations. The software is easy to install, friendly to use, and offers tutorials as well. I use it almost every day for my 2D abstract works of art, and I am fascinated by it's features. The software can open files from other photo editing software, and that is very useful. And besides all of this goodies, the software is a free an open source product, so it is great for teaching art. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GIMP?

I dont have any bad feedback about this software, if I were to say something negative, it would be that you can not select many layers at once, but there are other creative strategies that can be used that work great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I absolutely love this program!"
5/5
What do you like best about GIMP?

It is exactly like photoshop, with very similar features, but costs nothing! I can edit pictures, play with the lighting, colors, effects and create posters for trainings. Can be used for absolutly everything! From a picture or a blank canvas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GIMP?

Might be nice to have a tutorial mode in the beginning to get how everything works, but overall awesome software.

I have it on my personal computer to edit pictures, and on my work computer to create posters, signs and publicity for trainings and human resources policies. Makes everything more interesting and visually appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
