Description:

GIMP is an advanced picture editor. You can use it to edit, enhance, and retouch photos and scans, create drawings, and make your own images. It has a large collection of professional-level editing tools and filters, similar to the ones you might find in Photoshop. Numerous fine-control settings and features like layers, paths, masks, and scripting give you total control over your images.

Many image file formats are supported, including JPEG, Photoshop (.psd), and Paint Shop Pro (.psp) files. It can also be used to scan and print photos.

To open files remotely (like over HTTP), install the gvfs-backends package.

To use a MIDI device (like a musical keyboard) as an input controller in GIMP, install libasound2 and read the how-to at /usr/share/doc/gimp/README.MIDI

enricopitea 2 weeks ago	5	Just Perfect and easy to use
sunshinekid 2 months ago	5	I've been using GIMP for several years now. Best one hands down. For very minor changes, I might use a less complicated program, but this does more, and as such, know that there are many functions other programs simply do not have.
Mint-Account 2 months ago	4	It's great, i have used Gimp for years as main software. However i still feel it a bit stiff/uncomfortable in use. But how could i survive without it? :)
shundread 3 months ago	4	First thing to do with it is go to window -> single window mode, it's pretty good. It has a bunch of hiccups on supporting my drawing tablet's pressure sensitivity.
adamcohen 4 months ago	3	photoshop is better
FrancisLINIX 5 months ago	3	A l'air très puissant mais les débutant comme moi prefereront de loin Pinta
Benji54 5 months ago	5	Good photoshop alternative ;)
Busybody 6 months ago	1	Hate it! Hate it! Hate it!!! Came close to smashing my computer in utter frustration at not getting a simple task done. (Select part of image and move it sideways a bit.) I used GIMP (earlier version) successfully on my Windows Vista machine, but this version just doesn't do a simple task and is not intuitive. Developer deserves a swift kick to the gonads!
cybernaut 6 months ago	5	GIMP is maybe not yet as powerful as Adobe Photoshop, but it is an amaizingly great alternative! I am not a professional graphics designer, so GIMP is perfect for my needs!
Wolfcubby 7 months ago	5	Love the tools
Heyty 9 months ago	4	With GIMP you can say bye-bye to Adobe Photoshop. I miss some resources, but GIMP is a good tool. If you need a "photoshop for dummies" try Pinta.
jastombaugh 9 months ago	5	Came from a very strong PS background. Spent many years using CS2 & CS5 on a professional grade level. It definitely took a little getting used to, but I haven't had to go back yet. The only difference I've really found limiting is the text-handling in GIMP. PS allows a wide variety of text manipulation while maintaining the ability to edit it, whereas GIMP rasterizes text to manipulate it. On the whole, it's been a wonderful challenge that helped grow me from 'photoshopper' to 'image manipulator'. Advanced Text Handling and Instant Layer Effects/Cloning layer effects (drop-shadow, etc) are all you're missing out on. I'll just retype what I want to manipulate and add my own drop shadows anyday. PS was a great way to start learning how to edit/manipulate photos, but since switching to GIMP a few years ago, it has forced me to grow as a person, and when you invest in yourself, that's always going to pay off, right? :-) Amazing tool that just keeps getting more and more incredible!
binar 9 months ago	5	Очень хорошая альтернатива фотошопа. Огромный плюс, что почти не потребляет ресурсы! Функционал такой же(главное разобраться, где он находится хD). Неделя акклиматизации и можно сворачивать горы.
OfficerNice 10 months ago	3	If you're used to Photoshop you're going to be very disappointed. Want something simple as Outer Glow? Nope. The most pixelated stroke effect? Yup. It is far from being a good replacement for Photoshop.
plimboster 10 months ago	5	Фотошоп за линукс.
temmik 10 months ago	5	for linux High in function
Fonzie 1 year ago	3	The functionality reminds me of Photoshop though the accesability reminds me of a text-based adventure game...

Sweyn78 1 year ago	5	A fully capable alternative to Adobe Photoshop, and it's Libre! Its scripting API could use some work, though.

EvilAlien666 1 year ago	5	Powerful, efficient and stable. A great piece of software!
Rickey 1 year ago	5	I love it. Like many powerful programs there is a learning curve. But there are a ton of tutorials on YouTube and examples on sites dedicated to the GIMP to quickly bring you up to speed. I am now able "GIMP" photos like a pro but the GIMP has so many features that I am still learning new tricks.
moravideo 1 year ago	5	Немного непривычный интерфейс, но зато заменяет все основные функции Photoshop.
aanand_ub 1 year ago	5	An essential software for all systems.
Ponnumani 1 year ago	5	kills adobe slowly, just need some more tools and user friendliness. i previously used photoshop it have large number of tools. GIMP has the potential to beat it.

Jim4Prez 2 years ago	5	I use it everyday on Linux and Windows.
etech007 2 years ago	5	Love it Love it Love it, saved my life
thistof 2 years ago	3	GIMP should stand for "Gimp Is Meh Photoshop." Luckily it's heavily customizable, but still feels like doing photoshop with boxing gloves on.
darkscrap 2 years ago	5	Must-have piece of software if you ever want to alter an image. A little scary interface at first, but there are some good tutorials out there to get you started.
hemantrmore 2 years ago	4	It is a good software at free of cost. Need some improvement functionally as well as look wise for profecianal use. CMYK mode is unavilable. I hope it will improve & make hard compitition to other top photo editors. Please donet for such a usefull application.
espion_mobile 2 years ago	5	Easy one ! I love it!
dobritay 2 years ago	5	Great alternative to ps and easy to use
dexter_ose 2 years ago	4	can be a competiton of photoshop in future.
Maruthi 2 years ago	4	Easy to use and also need some patience too learn.
fhd_castro 2 years ago	3	I don't use it. I don't know why it comes by default, it's intended for designers. People say that is a great alternative to Photoshop. But I don't know, I don't use it.
Crewp 2 years ago	3	ok
CandyArts 2 years ago	3	Maybe we need plug-ins for other funcionallyties. We still cannot do a lot with it, however it is still a very good software but imporvements are always welcome. Think of having/adding more funcionalies and possibilies. We need improvements such as more funcionalies. Thank you.

gloriousigor 2 years ago	2	I dislike the interface. I restart my computer into Windows whenever I need to edit images.
hawksquawks 2 years ago	4	Very good I am yet to take full advantage of this. but so far it's been great for basic image edits.
djeneba8333 2 years ago	4	Not bad. but i prefer PS :)

bluebow 3 years ago	5	Great! Equal fotoshop.
nextkara 3 years ago	5	Nice...Love it
alphekka 3 years ago	5	I don't like using the paid alternatives since I started using GIMP years ago. I actually prefer it over them and any others. With GIMP and Inkscape, I've been able to do class projects or other work projects. Lots of tutorials online which is helpful as well. I like how the UI in GIMP doesn't seem to get in my way. It's just very well organized. Great work GIMP team!

Rebel450 3 years ago	4	a bit hard to control, when you come from Photoshop; CMYK support is crap, but nothing else to use on Linux, so ...

tranjeeshan 3 years ago	5	A great replacement for Photoshop, but could've been more photoshop-y
Kulla 3 years ago	4	Nicht immer einfach zu bedienen und manchmal etwas inkonsistent. Trotzdem für mich das Mittel der Wahl für kleinere aber auch umfangreichere Bildbearbeitung!
OttoZ 3 years ago	5	ein wirkliches Geschenk, großartige Leistung
jusai 3 years ago	4	works fine
kyriakos77 3 years ago	4	Just great.
Rodrix 3 years ago	4	I must admit that is a great software, but I'm so used to Adobe Photoshop, with which it is impossible not to compare.
greggha 3 years ago	3	Great slection of tools/toolbars. The downside is the start-up toolbars floating around the main window in a disorderly and confusing way for new users. Initial launch should introduce basic functions and info about GIMP's customization.
ratisbona 3 years ago	3	While Gimp is full of features, it's user interface and usability are far from being up to date. It is a powerful Software, but developers should focus on building a better user interface instead of adding feature after feature.
WhitePhoenix 3 years ago	3	Best on Linux isn’t good enough. Lacks a way to control the size of the line for its brushes/pens/pencils. Has no way to draw a line like Pinta or MS Paint. Has no standard color selection as does programs like Paint Shop, Photo Shop, Photo Plus or even SAI. But this is the best Linux has to offer, so you are stuck with it.
c678rb 3 years ago	4	GIMP 2.8.10 nimble and resourceful
Juan-Guillermo 3 years ago	5	Me gusta.
Hammer459 3 years ago	2	I used to love gimp. It was powerful yet vry easy to use. Now... extremely complicated and although in theory more powerful, in practical terms, useless as it is complicated beyond comprehension.
vahid-mint 3 years ago	5	one of best applications that could end the need of ms windows great alternative for photoshop
Ongytenes 3 years ago	5	Excellent program. It is very powerful, a great free alternative to the other well known photo editing program. May be a bit a learning curve for newbies. I recommend watching online tutorial videos (like YouTube) to get the feel for it. Once you learn/practice using it, it can become second nature to use it.
asderceder 3 years ago	5	Easier to use than Adobe Photoshop for sure.
andydumitrescu 3 years ago	5	The Gimp is very good. I work it.
iosonoscrive 3 years ago	5	yes gimp ok oki good
luisbraganca 3 years ago	5	I actually prefer GIMP over photoshop, and the best thing is that it's free
rcgamer 3 years ago	5	This app should be five stars easily. To me it's the best free app there is.
warlock2 3 years ago	3	For me not a good alternative for photoshop
sigurd1701 3 years ago	5	The Standard. even compared with very expensive Professional Progs. A bit more convenience for newbies would be fine.

mikeyplanet101 4 years ago	5	I remeber when I was on stinky old Windows, and used MS Paint. When I tried out GIMP, it made all the difference. It's really polished and does everything I need to do. Try it today!
GianluGIA 4 years ago	5	BIG SOFTWAREEEE
chrismots 4 years ago	5	Very good. Lighter than photoshop. I can use it in a rather old netbook. Many features, a lot of tools..
FiretronP75 4 years ago	5	Essential, stable, mature, fully featured.
mazinga 4 years ago	5	Awesome graphic tool, way lighter than Photoshop. Would be even better if it woul be possible to add/load plugins directly from GIMP.
3dBloke 4 years ago	5	Powerful and full-featured. I use it for all my graphic editing needs. (Also use the Windows version)
crispin 4 years ago	3	I used to use Photoshop but moved to GIMP when I started with Linux. Now I use GIMP on my Windows Machines as well. Excellent software that has a mass of features to create great graphics.
bjtamas 4 years ago	5	Nincs igazán vetélytársa GNU/Linux-okon, ráadásul ingyenes. Privát használatra felülmúlhatatlan rengeteg kiegészítővel.
hmdjong 4 years ago	5	I used gimp many times to enhance digital b/w photographs from a microfilm vieewer's screen.These are terribly overexposed in the middle and underexposed as you get to the sides. The recepe is from a single layer image use duplicate layer, on this layer use filter>blurr>gaussian blurr and set the pixelsize large enough so the characters or handwritings are blended into the background and then use a combine layers I think it was in the layers pane where the function was a mathematical devide and the result was a perfectly white background with acceptable black text. It was good enpough to print it and not waiste to much dye or toner from all tehe shady parts. you have to image>flatten image before you can save to jpg or other single layer image types, but the program tells you that. I looked for ways to custom make that into a single command, but I didn't find it. you can't win'm all!l for simple stuff (cropping resizing even converting to other formats printing renaming etc. I use XNView
kc6ufm 4 years ago	4	Does the job for me. I'm sureone with graphics skills will love this!
Saddletramp 4 years ago	5	Excellent photo editing tool.
Janusz 4 years ago	5	Świetny program do obróbki zdjęć
Kain 4 years ago	5	It took me a long time to really get into this because it is far more powerful than my simple editing needs. But once I got past the learning curve, I was quickly and effortlessly doing better work than on than on the simple options, and I have been experimenting with other features.

dagma 5 years ago	5	Es una buena aplicacion para edicion de imagen o creacion de estas, se podria decir que es el photoshop de linux pero es mejor que eso o apunta a serlo en un futuro no muy lejano.
frombenny 5 years ago	4	J'aime beaucoup. C'est un excellent outil pour retoucher des images avec éventuellement des calques.. Sous Xubuntu, le fait de pouvoir enrouler/dérouler les fenêtres d'outils le rend plus pratique sur mon petit écran 17 pouces (4/3)...
bww12 5 years ago	5	If you use photoshop,you need it!
silicont 5 years ago	5	The best alternative to big name apps. Newer releases would be nice in the repositories, but they can be gotten manually. Perfection!
Bisku 5 years ago	5	almost as good as adobe photoshop
jijames 5 years ago	5	GIMP is extremely useful whether you need simple image resizing or in-depth editing.
aftercast 5 years ago	4	merita l'installazione. l'interfaccia mostra troppi comandi e inizialmente sembra strano e disordinato. probabilmente difficile da capire per chi ha lavorato con photoshop per tanto tempo.
dogsolitude_uk 5 years ago	5	I hated GIMP, until they added the single-window mode! Now it's much easier to use, and can be easy rearranged to look/behave a bit like Photoshop (if that's what you're used to). Still feels a bit clunky in places, but seenig as we're comparing FREE!!! against £700, such niggles are churlish at best.
Korpu 5 years ago	4	Free substitute for Adobe Photoshop and, for Linux where Wine doesn't work, for IrfanView. Has different approach to the functions and doesn't save setting you use, so it will be some getting used to it and choosing your settings again, and again, no sufficient customization in Preferences. I, personally, hate color correction for shadows, midtones and highlights separately, and still can't fond Unsharp settings that wouldn't be so coarse (although plenty of options for this is provided, with no reasonable fine preset). Crop works through copy-paste... What else can I say? This is most powerful free drawing program (thanks to the developers!), less as photo editor, you have to use it for the lack of customisable simpler and better.
Hagbard99 5 years ago	5	A most have program. sometimes even better than Photoshop and cheeper.
fotonix 5 years ago	5	Huge new learning curve after mastering PS of course. Gimp is a powerhouse and I have only begun to explore its labrynths and try to crack into its secret ways (eg Scripting to replace Actions). Many online tuts and videos are for deprecated versions and of little help. Updated Q3 2013, when shall we finally get v2.8 in Linux? Pretty please.
shivajiva101 5 years ago	5	Brilliant piece of software, worth the effort to learn. Edit /usr/share/applications/gimp.desktop & remove pdf & ps mime types to regain your original pdf viewer!
martx148 5 years ago	4	Muy buen editor
cjrpackwood 5 years ago	4	For the advanced photo/image user, this is a must have piece of software. It isn't quite like Adobe Photoshop, but darn close. Has all the features an advanced user or professional photographer needs. If you want more, just go to the website and browse the very long lists of plugins/addons to broaden its capabilities. I use it on LinuxMint and Windows 7 when I need that proffesional touch.
hazard1nc 5 years ago	4	The GIMP has been around as far back as I can remember, I love this app!
Mathew-Moore 5 years ago	4	Between paint shop pro 7 and gimp, I get all the image work done, I like simple apps that just do the job. This is nearly one of them.
rajray 5 years ago	5	Best Free alternative to Professional Adobe Photoshop. Best free Image Editor Ever.
ThorIbisMagura 5 years ago	4	Åbning af "/media/mint/Windows/kalender/WF_Planner_31_days.eps" mislykkedes: Could not interpret Postscript file '/media/mint/Windows/kalender/WF_Planner_31_days.eps' is the message I get when trying to open a file from Illustrator in either .ai or .eps format in LinuxMint. The Gimp is 2.8.6 and my laptop a 64-bit Sony Vaio VGN-AW41HQ. In Windows Gimp opens the files correct. Funny that here in LinuxMint Inkscape open the same files correct but in Windows the files get the error message that ps2pdf interpreter is not present. Ghostscript 64-bit is installed. I hoped to get Scribus, Inkscape and Gimp to work in the same boot partition so I do not have to reboot too often. The potential of Linux is unfortunately not gettng as many users as possible, partly due to the fact that it is a pain to get a dual boot to function without a lot of work. Just trying Mint out, several years ago I tried Suse and Mandriva, things were easier then.

shelleyfrank 5 years ago	5	Funny, I have discovered the Gimp in 2001. It was only a baby then.
csmemarketing 5 years ago	5	#trinidadwebsitedesign - I started off with Photoshop, became an expert in that. But When I saw Gimp 2.6, I decided to learn it because I wanted to switch to linux permanently. It's a great contender to photoshop but when 2.8 came out, I was amazed. I rate it 5/5 in open source graphics because it's a must have on linux or any other OS if you want a free Graphics Editor like photoshop. When used together with Inkscape, you cannot go wrong at all! Anything basic to intermediate you can make with Gimp. The only thing missing from gimp is the live layer effects in photoshop and that's it. I suggest you install and learn it right now! See these websites I made with help from both Gimp and Inkscape - (1) http://csmemarketing.biz, (2) http://yekofsgenimports.com
mannyjk 5 years ago	5	Use it all the time. It is worth taking some time to learn. I have yet to find anything that is as good as the Gimp
dsgna89 5 years ago	4	Good software here, but the learning curve may dissuade many newcomers. Would do with some more user-friendliness.

RavenLX 5 years ago	5	I've used PhotoShop Elements 5, Paint Shop Photo Pro X3 (and even previous versions called Paint Shop Pro) and I have to say I love GIMP! It can do all the things the other programs can. I admit you'll want to follow some tutorials though to learn how to use the program. It's very powerful and you can quickly make some amazing graphics!
osarusan 5 years ago	5	There is a learning curve for folks used to Photoshop or other image programs, but once you get past it, Gimp is truly one of the best applications out there. If you're an artist, make sure you also download Gimp Paint Studio!

easy 6 years ago	5	I work with GIMP every other day. It's really essential for me, I really love it. Over time I've mastered it to be able to do everything that I've used to do with Paint Shop Pro. It still has rough edges here and there, but overall it's a wonderful piece of software, which became even more awesome with the latest 2.8 update! 100% recommended! :)

scott65 6 years ago	3	One of the best for Linux I guess but still a pain in the ass IMO. Could be a lot better and easier to use.
SaimonSL 6 years ago	5	Very small in size compare to Photoshop yet almost as capable as Photoshop. You can basically do anything with GIMP just go to Youtube and search GIMP and you will get hundreats of tutorials on just about anything. The best part is it works in WIndows and Mac. The only problem I faced is that the tools bars some time don'e focus.

Mintification 6 years ago	5	The epitome of image manipulation programs. Cleaner, faster (and freer) than Photoshop.
BernardDecock 6 years ago	5	A very helpful and precious type of free software for editing photo's
newpaul 6 years ago	4	I agree with the general praise: Gimp delivers. The remarks about the poor cropping tool (or the scaling/resizing one) seem to me also well justified. For a “professional-level” image manipulation tool, its icons look too childish, sometimes unclear and aesthetically unambitious in general. If it had some kind of standard/advanced switch, it could easily become a more universal image manipulation tool. As it is, it remains a little convoluted for average users. In MS Windows, it is easily beaten by more accessible & powerful enough tools like Paint.net & Photoscape.
stel 6 years ago	5	Very powerful application, if one takes the time to explore it and install the various plugins for it
RichardL 6 years ago	4	After being a longtime Jasc Paint user, GIMP gives me all the things that I used to wish Paint had. Every day I use Linux Mint, I learn something new and (usually) exciting as well as pleasing.
R9Devyatka 6 years ago	2	GIMP could be a better alternative to photoshop if only could manipulate CMYK chanelled files

Cybeet 6 years ago	5	Very good free software. :) GIMP can do almost anything that Photoshop can do, it just can be more difficult. But hey, it's free, and for free software, it's absolutely five stars program, because there is no better free image editing program. ^^ Also, every GIMP user should read Lifehacker's article about Photoshop-like image manipulations with GIMP: http://lifehacker.com/5864755/top-10-photoshop-tricks-you-can-do-without-buying-photoshop Anyway, great program. And absolutely free! :)
jessie0514 6 years ago	4	very nice
bdheeman 6 years ago	5	A must have application for desktop as well as workstation users
Logics 6 years ago	5	Great software. Great plugins available. the interface is more akin to the old Photoshop on Mac so some are not used to it but in terms of function and intuitiveness, it is fantastic. There is no photo manipulation that I need to do which GIMP cannot handle. It sees my Genius pressure sensitive tablet (because Linux sees it). This is a must have for all photographers.
patrixon78 7 years ago	5	Awesome app for me. I am a Web Developer. I work with Corel, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and many others apps. Gimp is a very pawerful and you can do even better projects with Gimp than with Photoshop. I'ts not about the application itself. It's all about your skills, creativity and willingness to learn new things, new interfaces (which is not so far different from Photoshop). I know people who use Gimp and they made a lot better graphics than me working with Photoshop. Also there is an development version of Gimp (2.7.4) which I have installed on my Mint 12 and there is single window mode so now the work with Gimp is more comfortable than ever, and speaking of price? I'ts free!

cMo2011 7 years ago	4	I like GIMP, been using it as a complete replacement to photoshop and its great. My only downside would be the making of slices could be much better!

RheinLoki 7 years ago	5	Mit das beste Programm für Bilder
Inoki 7 years ago	5	At first seems a bit clumsy, but after you start to work with this tool you'll eventually find yourself hooked to it. Better than Photoshop if you ask me. Why? A number of reasons. First of, it's free, it's light and very extensible unlike Photoshop, which is too dang expensive and everything for it is expensive too. GIMP has 100% .psd compatibility and dispones with features PS will never have. People know what people need and they make it that way. Congrats for making the best raster program ever!
jive 7 years ago	5	Если добавить GMIC и прочие полезные плагины - фотошоп нервно курит в сторонке :)
namedaki 7 years ago	5	like
gonye 7 years ago	5	Yes, I love it, I am using every day.
Lirex 7 years ago	5	perfect
daedra333 7 years ago	5	Great program but please upgrade the repos to 2.72!
cmaew04 7 years ago	4	Fantastic. Does everything you need for advanced or simple editing. The only drawback is that it is difficult to learn to use.
flan_suse 7 years ago	3	It's good enough for small things, but definitely not a Photoshop killer. It took them 15 years to finally introduce a single-window mode... but they don't even set it as default?! 15 years! What are the GIMP developers thinking? They need to hire a real UI designer!
strugk 7 years ago	5	very good aplication
houn 7 years ago	5	just need to get used to the Ui and keyboard shortcuts...
kunk 7 years ago	5	Great editor.
fcole90 7 years ago	5	I work with that!
Ehecatl1138 7 years ago	4	Muy bueno y en camino de convertirse en una auténtica alternativa seria a Photoshop.
simmy 7 years ago	4	I like gimp, but as a photo shop user, the few complaints i have are apparent when using gimp. Mainly for me the lack of a singular window, bt a modular window program, is a bit confusing for me, and why cant Iwarp have a full screen preview? lots of small bothers for me..but if you bother to learn its way of doing things, and its limitations, it does its job, just dont expect Photoshop.
cybertriveni 7 years ago	5	great!!!
ChirmiPlay 7 years ago	5	Es un muy buen programa con un futuro asegurado si se sigue actualizando.

sidobrianpenguin 8 years ago	5	Indispensable
zaenal1234 8 years ago	5	great.!!! to edit images / photos, etc. & compatible with many file formats.
Doruletz 8 years ago	4	Save $300 to $500 vs. Adobe Photoshop. Does everything and more. Truly awesome, still a bit complicated - could've been more simple and user friendly... Takes a long while to feel comfortable with Gimp. Also the user guide (manual) is basic, not much to learn from it.
killmess 8 years ago	4	It's nice and powerful, but his User Interface can be better, unified windows, and less unused space between icons and labels would be great.
KazuSpara 8 years ago	4	One the best linux application.
H4x0r18 8 years ago	4	Offers just about the same as Photoshop but less features. Gets the job done.

NicolasPerrault 8 years ago	5	Just great software
jesica 8 years ago	5	the best for photos by far, alot of tools
boggle 8 years ago	5	Great software similar in capability to Adobe Photoshop. Takes a while to familiarise with the interface but can produce top results. Needs magnetic lasso...

hazmint33 8 years ago	5	good software but more hard to use
Sol_Badguy 8 years ago	5	Excellent software
30ctsparer 8 years ago	4	This could be the ultimate Photoshop killer if it was just a bit more userfriendly...
Deadite81 8 years ago	5	One of my favorites. This is not a beginners program! But it's not hard to learn either.
hawker 8 years ago	5	super software
vviskari 8 years ago	5	Powerful and free! Not for beginners. Someone coming from PS may find this hard to use.
abrasax 8 years ago	5	Powerful
Xendon 8 years ago	5	Very Powerful but hard to use for beginners
NicolasRobidoux 8 years ago	5	powerful and flexible, and consequently not quite beginner friendly

emuse 8 years ago	5	I really LOVE this software! With out a doubt, it is the best free image software available! I do wish they would update themes and ease of addons, but it is really great!
ozos 8 years ago	5	Best Photoshop alternative
linux1492 8 years ago	5	Some people reject GIMP! I HAVE ABSOLUTE NO IDEA WHY!!! GIMP is one of the very best image processing programs. Now consider that this software is open source and you can do most of the stuff you wish to do with an image processing program. If you need more than GIMP can offer you must be professional and need to invest lots of money for little more. For the rest of all users GIMP is the best you can install on your machine.
Cougar 8 years ago	5	The best open-source image editor, and third best image editor overall, behind Adobe Photoshop & Fireworks

umka 8 years ago	5	The best!!!
flor_de_azucena 8 years ago	5	They say it's not a professional tool. Well, I don't need one. What I need is tampering with my photos:) and that's what GIMP does perfectly.
thx1138 8 years ago	5	Das Photoshop-Äquivalent unter Linux. Unzählige Plugins lassen das Progg dem teuren Windows-Bruder in Nichts nachstehen.
JasonLG 8 years ago	5	It's the Gimp what else can I say.

donald_duck 8 years ago	5	Y'a pas mieux sur nunux
na5h 8 years ago	5	It's great! A free alternative to photoshop!
scribbyk 8 years ago	4	Obviously a very feature rich app, but I am one that needs a simple 'fix it' button. Should I get into photography more seriously, this is definitely what I would use!
joe1 8 years ago	5	the best pixel editor for linux
dlkreations 8 years ago	5	One of the best image manipulation programs for the open source community. Has just about everything needed to be a permanent replacement for Photoshop.

hezy 8 years ago	5	One of the best free apps.
Liszt 8 years ago	3	It's not bad though I find it a little slow and awkward to use (mind you I am not an expert at this software and clearly other people find it excellent). It does appear quite powerful.
mcoumans 8 years ago	5	One of the best open-source tools on the market

chucklebutte 8 years ago	5	(_)b
brianji03 8 years ago	5	It makes me laugh how gimp is almost more usable than photoshop and it is much less of a package size.
frubba 8 years ago	5	Nothing to say. It's gimp!
mikefreeman 8 years ago	5	Excellent graphics program! If it doesn't have what you need, it's probably just a plugin away.
Craig_Dem 8 years ago	5	Fantastic image editor, I find it easier to use than Photoshop.
oscar799 8 years ago	5	I've been using GIMP for a year now.....wouldn't want PS even if it was being given away free...
pikkuteemu 8 years ago	5	It's getting harder and harder to remember how things were done in PS ..
aibo 8 years ago	4	a bit of a learning curve, but the more you learn, the more useful gimp becomes
Pariah 8 years ago	5	Hardest app in the known universe but well worth the effort!! can't wait for 2.8
caleb06866 8 years ago	5	5 star software (and it's way Better than Photoshop))
SeanBest 8 years ago	5	Takes awhile to get used to, but best imaging software in Linux.
dorylinux 8 years ago	5	ho buttato photoshop nel 2007 e da allora uso solo GIMP!!! ;-)
RandyNose 8 years ago	5	Yet another example of how open source works. Geat program, a little funky to use if you're used to Photoshop, Paintshop, etc... Once you get used to the three windows/screens it's actually a little easier to use. :)
mariovfernandez 8 years ago	5	An awesome photo editor. Excellent alternative to Photoshop.
Bob63 8 years ago	4	Very nice. Moderate learning curve. Many tutorials available on 'net.
Canid 8 years ago	5	Muito bom!!!
Ambient 8 years ago	4	Best image editor on Linux, its a bit advanced on some points (for the average user). But then, who said doing advanced effects/changes to images wouldnt be advanced?
helgen 8 years ago	5	Best image editor around, second only to photoshop, but this ones free. If you miss any functions, install more plugins and brushes, you can use photoshop brushes too. The only thing that could be done better is the interface that is better in photoshop, so i therefore say its second to it and not number 1.
ghilly63 8 years ago	4	Takes a bit of patience
begrebela 8 years ago	5	I use it every day and I love it!
salli 8 years ago	5	there is no better
nixnine 8 years ago	5	Gimp is as powerful an image editing program as any. I would recommend it to anyone who considers spending $$$ on other "Professional" software. Gimp IS a Pro.
anchorschmidt 8 years ago	5	Amazing!
Felagund 8 years ago	4	Aussi utile pour des retouches de base que pour des manipulations complexes : un tout-en-un parfait si on se laisse le temps de la découverte.
waka_choko 8 years ago	5	Just love it.

zroo3d 8 years ago	5	graphic tool for professionals

huntman 8 years ago	5	best grapichs program
jkw 8 years ago	5	I don't do much graphics, but when I'm going to edit any photo to remove red eyes, do some minor logo or something Gimp is wonderful. It can even be used for more powerful graphics, but that's out of my league.
Rich_Roast 8 years ago	5	Features constantly improving
linuxmint 8 years ago	5	Awesome program to edit graphics. I hope it's kept in future releases of linux mint! It is a good alternative for Photoshop
VICTOR360 8 years ago	5	Simple,Easy,And Fast Great Alternative 2 Adobe cs5!
nilsgeylen 8 years ago	5	Getting better and better and it doesn't randomly crash as Photoshop does
jatwood 8 years ago	5	I have just started using GIMP for making some LinuxMint wallpaper of my own and I really have liked it. I am still getting used to the interface, but it's growing on me.
captainhaggy 8 years ago	5	Wer noch ##toshop nutzt, ist selber schuld. GIMP ist wohl der Standard, wenn es um Bildbearbeitung geht. Kostenfrei und exzellent. Aber niemand hat behauptet, man müßte sich nicht einarbeiten. Ein kostenloses Handbuch ist in den Paketquellen vorhanden.
KittyKatt 8 years ago	5	I've been using GIMP for the past 3 years now, and I'll take it over PS any day of the week. Maybe that's just because I'm used to it or maybe it's because I can't shell out the money for a graphics program no better than GIMP. ;)
clem 8 years ago	5	Long learning curve, but it's well worth it. Really handy tool.
ddalley 8 years ago	3	Archaic interface, not intuitive and cumbersome, but full-featured. Most people need a lighter weight, more intuitive image editor, but good ones are difficult to find.
