GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)

Bildverarbeitung auch für Anfänger.

Vorteile:

Es ist sehr benutzerfreundlich und einfach in der Handhabung. Es ist auch ohne Weiteres ein Programm für Amateure.

Nachteile:

Das Programm bietet in meinen Augen nur positive Eigenschaften.

Einfache, schnelle und kostengünstige Bearbeitung von Bildmaterial

Vorteile:

Simplicity. Wenn man schnell ein Icon umfärben muss oder einen News-Banner gestalten möchte ist man einfach schnell. Es nicht schwer die Bedienung dieser Software zu erlernen.

Nachteile:

Manchmal habe ich Problem mit dem Werkzeug "Auswahl", wobei vielleicht fehlt mir da das Experten-Wissen da ich mir alles selbst beigebracht habe.

Günstiges Tool

Kommentare: Für bestimmte Arbeiten ,ist dieses Tool gut.

Vorteile:

Es hat viele Funktionen wie die großen grafik Tools. Man muss sich etwas einarbeiten, aber ist ein vernünftiges Tool und mit der kostenlosen Version schon viele Funktionen.

Nachteile:

Also das Tool könnte von der Aufmachung schon etwas besser aussehen. Und evl. Schritt für Schritt Anleitung ( Videos).

Probably the best free photo editor

Kommentare: Overall I had a good experience with GIMP especially when considering that it's free. It gets the job done but sometimes the interface can fill a bit overwhelming.

Vorteile:

The most obvious thing that I like about GIMP is that it's free. But, despite that it also offers a lot of powerful features like the healing tool, scripts, batch processing etc.

Nachteile:

What did you like least about GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)?* The user interface feels too old for my taste but I like that it's customizable.

Try It...I dare you!

Kommentare: I actually really like the program, and I REALLY like the price! Gimp makes editing photos fun and makes my design process much easier.

Vorteile:

Gimp is a great alternative to Adobe Photoshop! I did use Adobe Photoshop but to renew was expensive. After looking at cheaper alternatives, I went with Gimp. It has every feature that I have needed and I can export to many different file format. I use this in combination with my vector programs and you won't find a better deal with as many features as Gimp. There is also a wide array of tutorials to be found online. If you need a photo editor and don't want to spend alot, this is the program to try.

Nachteile:

It took a little bit to learn some of the features, but you can find numerous videos on how to use different features. It was no worse than learning to use Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator.

Good for Programmer Art, Somewhat Confusing

Kommentare: GIMP is my go-to drawing program for quick placeholder art, at least when I can't afford Adobe Animate. It's not easy to generate sprite sheets or animations (there's no timeline -- you need plugins or many, many layers), but it's good for individual sprites or sequences that contain no more than a few frames. Drawing line is weird -- you have to hold down shift between brush or pen clicks. Rotating sprites can sometimes pixelate them. Changing the canvas size often involves wondering why your sprites are disappearing when moving them out of bounds, then doing some complicated layer manipulation and flattening to get everything working the way it should. The bottom line is that a user should be able to resize a canvas and have everything work seamlessly right away. Still, as free art programs and cheap special effects go, I depend on it quite a bit. I recommend it if you can't afford something better, like Animate or Photoshop.

Vorteile:

-Free -Makes easy programmer art -Layers are easy to manipulate and understand -Interesting and nice looking artistic filters

Nachteile:

-Drawing Tools are somewhat counterintuitive, especially lines and pens -No apparent Vector capabilities -Not easy to generate sprite sheets -Resizing canvases can have awkward side effects

Powerful Free Alternative to Adobe Photoshop with a Learning Curve

Kommentare: GIMP has been a reliable tool for my graphic design and photo editing needs. It’s powerful enough for many professional tasks, even though there are some limitations. The learning curve was initially challenging, but once I got comfortable with it, I found it versatile and effective for most tasks. The community and online resources are also very helpful for learning and troubleshooting.

Vorteile:

GIMP is entirely free, with no subscription fees, which makes it accessible to everyone.

Nachteile:

The layout and navigation could be improved to feel more user-friendly. For advanced photo editing, GIMP lacks some high-end tools that Photoshop offers.

GIMP, a free wholesome graphics manipulation program

Kommentare: I have enjoyed using it and while I have other options, the fact that it is free means we can deploy it on all our computers and that is what our students are not using for all their graphics work and no one has complained about it.

Vorteile:

The biggest advantage to GIMP is that is that it is free and a worthwhile alternative to Photoshop and illustrator.

Nachteile:

IT can be heavy on the system and so it tends to be slow. Also, if one is not used to the interface, it takes some getting used to work with it.

Gimp > photoshop

Kommentare: Overall my experience has been positive and more than satisfied.

Vorteile:

I appreciate the tools it offers for free unlike adobe so I can choose if it’s the right editing software for me.

Nachteile:

I would like more tutorials to be available but other than that, no complaints.

Not easy to learn

Vorteile:

Program was not easy to use. I tried to learn it but was not able to get it to work like I have with other programs.

Nachteile:

I was not able to get this program to work like other programs that I have.

Free software for design of book covers and web graphics

Kommentare: It does what I need it to do. If I took a training I could probably do more things but it allows me to design usable images

Vorteile:

It's free. Neither upfront or monthly fees. I am not aware of an alternative that is free. It allows me to do book covers and graphics for my website. Updates to the software are also free.

Nachteile:

There's quite steep learning curve. Things have moved on since I started and there are now free youtube video classes available when you look up how to do something. Many of those connect with people who offer basic affordable training for less than £20 and I would recommend that.

GIMP: Not Photoshop, but Exceptional

Kommentare: Overall it has always met all of my image manipulation needs. When I've had to modify logos, edit photos, create web content, and similar functions, it's always been a solid choice and it's free to use. Maybe it's not for someone who is an advanced designer or UI/UX person, but for a robust and free tool for most image manipulation needs, it's great.

Vorteile:

GIMP is a robust image editing tool comparable to the likes of Photoshop (I know the Photoshop fans in the world will grind their teeth at that, but from my perspective it's fact). Full set of features for all the image manipulation I've ever needed, bearing in mind I have not been a graphic designer or anything like that. My needs have always been around internal company marketing, or application design, never a full blown marketing design firm or anything like that.

Nachteile:

Some things are not as intuitive as I'd like, but it is a complex program with a lot of features, therefore it takes some time to learn where everything is and how to get things done, workflows, etc.

I really love it

Kommentare: I was pleasantly surprised by GIMP. It's a powerful tool with a lot of advanced features, and I love that it's free.

Vorteile:

I really like the range of tools, including things like layer masks and bezier curves. It lets me achieve professional results for my design projects. The interface is customizable, which is helpful.

Nachteile:

It took me a little time to get used to the interface. It's not as intuitive as some other programs, but there are tutorials available.

Don't under estimate GIMP!

Kommentare: I love this software overall. It's easy to install and run with multiple processes at one time it doesn't cause issues like I have had with others in the past. You do not have to have a high-end pc or macbook pro to get started with GIMP.

Vorteile:

This is an amazing tool compared to the others on the market. This ran with ease on my PC and didn't cause me any issues. They send out updates and offer tons of documentation. The software is great for beginners or professionals. It runs on macOS and Windows while not requiring too many specs. HIGHLY recommend

Nachteile:

The overall GUI interface feels outdated it could use a modern revamp.

The best free image editing software

Kommentare: I downloaded it after using photoshop and I got used to it quickly after switching. I never had any problems outside if a folder has thousands of items in it, when choosing to make an export to name the export and to choose what file type it will be, it loads every file name into the browser which can make it lag if there is over thousands of items in the folder being opened.

Vorteile:

It's fully free and it's designed to be quick to learn and use. Missing some settings photoshop has, but overall does the same job or better.

Nachteile:

Missing some of the bigger features of photoshop and the extensions. But in most cases they aren't needed for most needs.

GIMP at a glance

Kommentare: I use GIMP on a daily basis. It comes in very handy since I work with a lot of images. This is a hobby of mine

Vorteile:

I like the thousands of tools and images offered.I like the ease of use The help files and the tutorialThe fact that it is free and a very good competitor to Adobe Photoshop

Nachteile:

The loading time that it takes the program to open. That is the only thing I dislike about GIMP.It is basically a very good program

could be better

Kommentare: i just did not find this to be a well executed art program. it didnt have the features that i thought it would, and it was frustrating trying to figure where features were that i felt should have been standard and easy to find for quick access.
it may be good for some, but not for me.

Vorteile:

i cant really pin point any one particular thing i liked about the program, sorry.

Nachteile:

the fact that overall it was just not user friendly.

The best software with mind-blowing features

Kommentare: It is a mind-blowing software. It is enriched with wonderful and robust features. There are so many superb tools which facilitates users in making any kind of customization. It is very much compatible with various file formats. GIMP is equally benefiting graphic designers, photographers, and digital artists.

Vorteile:

It is free of cost. Another amazing thing about it is that it is open-source. It saves money that you would have to spend to buy a subscription. For image editing, there are a variety of interesting tools. Its customizable interface is really fascinating. The thing which made me its biggest fan is that it keeps on updating frequently and always come with latest features that almost meet all users' needs.

Nachteile:

The only drawback is that for beginners the learning curve is quite steep. Some plugins fail compatibility with the latest version. It needs to be more polished.

A tool worth learning to use

Kommentare: I use GIMP quite often and it has become an indispensable tool for me in everyday work.
It is worth initially dedicating a little patience in understanding where to find all the various functions, and then making the best use of them quickly.

Vorteile:

I find GIMP perfect for quick image editing operation such as scaling the size or merging multiple layers into a single image. I also find it to be a great solution for compiling and editing pdf files.

Nachteile:

Some features may be too hidden when first approaching the application, and the interface appears not very user friendly

Almost Photoshop, but not Quite

Kommentare: My overall experience with this graphic design tool was quite positive-like a free, slightly less powerful version of Photoshop

Vorteile:

Photoshop-like features and ease of use.

Nachteile:

It has many similarities to photoshop but is not quite as flexible

My Go-TO For All Image Editing

Kommentare: I am very satisfied with their service and the variety of tools it provides.

Vorteile:

It is highly accessible and useful for a variety of projects.

Nachteile:

There is a decent learning curve when you haven't used any comparable editing software.

Fantastic especially for a free program.

Vorteile:

Usually when you have a free alternative to any program, you expect it to be sub-par, but GIMP is free and perfect for people like me who don't need extensive graphic design tools (though I've heard it's quite good in that regard), but just need a functional form of the basics. I use it primarily for outlining parcels, and editing real estate images. Any local business that does marketing of any kind would benefit from using GIMP -- sometimes pricy programs simply aren't needed, and GIMP is a lifesaver in that regard.

Nachteile:

I do feel like there is a bit of learning curve, one that I've found to be more difficult that paid image editing programs. While shortcuts make things easier for every program, if feels absolutely crucial to know them for GIMP, otherwise each task can feel laborious. I also feel like the UI for browsing for a file is way too out-of-date... I always click and drag from my file explorer.

GIMP: The Photo Editor and Drawing Program for Everyone

Kommentare: I tried GIMP many, many moons ago, and did not like it at all. However, I downloaded it again about 2 years ago, and it had changed and improved so much, I thought I would give it another whirl. I am glad I did. I use it mainly for image editing, and it is my one and only go-to image editor now. Once you start learning all of the options, it is a very powerful tool, and the developers have made an amazingly useful program that has stayed open-source which I support 100%.

Vorteile:

The thing I like most about GIMP is that it has about a zillion and one features that can be implemented. It is a complete replacement for Photoshop for a budget business, and can even be used for almost all image needs if you were to just use one program. GIMP is also open-source which I fully support, and free, but it is so useful, you will want to donate!

Nachteile:

The thing I like most is also the thing I like least... it has a zillion and one options! If you have ever used Blender, it kind of reminds me of the same sort of interface. It can be easy to get lost in all the options, windows, and docks if you aren't a daily user.

A very good tool for a first use to advanced

Vorteile:

I like the fact that anyone can use Gimp without true knowledge of graphic designing. It is easy to use, and allow to learn very fast.

Nachteile:

Some features might be missing sometimes, but honestly it is a very good tool.

It's Great for a Free Software

Kommentare: When it comes to editing images, GIMP fulfills my needs. I recommend it to people who don't have the budget to pay for image processing software.

Vorteile:

GIMP offers easy-to-use tools for resizing and scaling images without losing quality. It's a free, open-source image editor that's available for almost any operating system, including Windows. It offers advanced image-editing features making it the correct free substitute for Adobe Photoshop. There are several great features of GIMP, including the transparency layer that allows you to draw anything with an alpha background. You can crop images to fit your needs effortlessly and remove borders from images. Numerous recoloring features are available, including highlights, shadows, hues, lightness, and saturation.

Nachteile:

I do not have any problems with the software. GIMP is a powerful free, open-source image editor I use to edit all my images. Most open-source and free tools look similar, so I don't mind its outdated interface.
