Chose GIMP
Adobe Photoshop is very powerful software, however it is expensive and requires equipment with specific requirements to be able to run it. Canva use them to create basic and fast designs from any of my devices. Instead, I choose GIMP because it is a very light graphic editor …

GIMP is great for anyone ranging from personal use to a small business. But, if you are a large business and have a sufficient budget, I would recommend you to opt for an expensive paid software like Photoshop, that would provide not only great features but also public recognition. Its great for beginners wanting to start editing photos, there is a small learning curve that could be gotten used to in no time.

As a filmmaker and designer, I've found that Drawtify is well suited for a variety of projects. One of the things I like most about it is its user-friendliness. Even if you're not a graphic design expert, you can still create professional-looking designs with this tool.One scenario where Drawtify is particularly well suited is for creating title cards and lower thirds for videos. The software's text and shape tools are easy to use and allow for a lot of customization, so you can create designs that perfectly match the aesthetic of your film.Another scenario where Drawtify shines is in creating animation. The software's animation feature is intuitive and easy to use, making it a great option for creating simple animations for your film's opening credits, transitions, and other visual elements.However, Drawtify is less appropriate for more complex and advanced graphic design tasks. It's not a professional graphic design software like Adobe Illustrator, it doesn't have all the features that a professional graphic designer would need. For example, if you're looking to create a detailed illustration or a complex logo, Drawtify might not have the advanced tools you need.Another scenario where Drawtify might not be the best choice is if you're working with a team of designers and need a more robust collaboration feature. Drawtify's collaboration feature is good, but it's not as advanced as some other design software.Overall, Drawtify is a great tool for beginners and those who are looking for an easy-to-use design software. It is well-suited for basic design tasks like creating title cards, lower thirds, posters, flyers, and simple animations. However, it's not the best option for more advanced tasks or for team collaborations.

If you're in a situation where you're regularly creating content for a website, social media page, or even printed materials, Pixlr is a great option! It allows you to create something simple from scratch (with just a solid background and text) or something more complex (with multiple pictures, layers, fonts, shadowing, etc.). It's our go-to method for creating content. If you're someone who isn't very tech savvy, the learning curve for using Pixlr effectively could be discouraging. The interface is intuitive, but there's a lot to it

Cons
GIMP Development Team
  • GIMP should make the font tool more intuitive. Make it easier to change fonts during edit process without resetting the typeface selection.
  • Build in selection/move ability within tools like the typeface tool... I.e. don't require toggle between selection tool and typeface tool when wanting to move a line of type within a layer. Likewise with shapes, etc.

Capability, open architecture, compatibility with Photoshop plugins, wide platform coverage; To me, as an open-source, freely available application, it's the nest-in-class.

Usability
GIMP Development Team
I interface GIMP with other software--I need to. I generally use the major calculation, CAD, word processing, and photo editing programs. In my office, my use of this software is not limited to computer-aided design. However, I am sure that if I needed this software for other purposes, it would have no interface problems.

We have never needed to use the support functions for GIMP. Any queries we have or had about whether GIMP could complete a task we have used Google and YouTube. There is a wealth of information, guides, and forums dedicated to GIMP and how to perform certain tasks with the application.

Online services like Canva are fine for quickly designing brochures and marketing materials, videos, etc. They're user friendly and fast if you have a good connection. But if you're in production mode and need to do a lot of photo manipulation at once, without being connected to the web at all times and just want to focus, GIMP is the go-to product for you

Drawtify is a very easy tool in comparison to Adobe Suite. While Canva is easy but I don't like it due to redundant templates. Like if you have created something with Canva, everyone know that this has been created in Canva. Whilst the Drawtify templates are quite new. Also the motion graphics is a plus over all other platforms.

Canva is a similar program using for creating content. I've tried out their suite as well but always end up coming back to Pixlr because of ease of use, and my familiarity with the product. They continue to make upgrades to the product and have always had what we feel we need to make top-notch looking graphics for our organization.
