GIMP

[bobmac]

I've been looking around for some photo editing software for the last few weeks when I came across Gimp.
There's loads of tutorials on Youtube which is brilliant so I'll be binge watching them for the next month.
Does anyone else use it or know of something better please?
Thanks

You beat me to it!

I saw the thread title and started to read with a sense of anticipation.........

Photoshop is generally acknowledged as the standard and better, but if you're not a pro GIMP is the tool of choice, given the cost difference! It's been around a good 20+ years now, and has some great features although not always intuitive to use, which is it's biggest downside.

I've used affinity photo for a couple if years now, it's not free but is on par (I believe) with Photoshop but is a one off payment with free upgrades rather than a monthly payment as is Photoshop

So are you admitting to be a fan of gimp or just a gimp lover?

GIMP is horrible to use but completely functional and adequate for no cost.

I'd also recommend Affinity Photo instead, it's currently £33.99 in Black Friday sale and is a much better alternative to Photoshop than GIMP is.

Most Photography magazines, tutorial providers and so on are providing a lot of content around Affinity now.

I found the Learning curve pretty steep but it is my go to program when I need to work with transparencies and layers.

Never found it great for photo stuff but I can probably put that down to the camera and photos rather than the software.

I mainly use it for custom graphics and artwork for projects instead of photos.
