    Difficult to learn how to use but very useful.

    This is amazing, but what's the best way to convert photoshop users to this?

  • alarob alarob 6 months ago

    It's free and it doesn't suck.

    A good alternative to Photoshop for people who want something free to do the job, minus a steep learning curve. The amount filters available make this a companion to photoshop for me.

    Photoshop is the king in this field, but being a free, GPL Licensed tool with most of the capabilities of Photoshop built in, as well as heaps of stuff Photoshop can't do, it's an awesome app.

    Shame it takes so long to load and uses so much ram (But then again, Photoshop uses more...)

  • sunmaster671 sunmaster671 9 months ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

    better than photoshop

    The interface is very clunky making it difficult to find what you are looking for if you are doing anything beyond the basics. But, it's free and works on a variety of systems so that makes it worth trying to learn. I still think most people will find Photoshop Elements easier to pick up and learn.

    Not Photoshop, but no complaints.

  • retman retman 10 months ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

    Best thing ever.

    Beats Photoshop easily

    It takes a long time to get to grips with but under the hood is very powerful and is cross-platform.

    GIMP provides image editing capabilities that are impressive for a free, open-source application. Yet many users will find GIMP lacking in terms of support and features, and even the average of users will likely be turned off by it's dated, tedious interface.

    Photoshop is a must for the serious graphic artist. For the Mac user, Pixelmator is also worth keeping an eye on: http://www.pixelmator.com/
