I decided to trial GIMP after researching alternatives to other image manipulation programs such as Adobe Photoshop. GIMP is being used in our organisation to create all of the images needed for the creation of our product labels. This includes the manipulation of our logo, creation of backgrounds, etc. For simple projects, it is very intuitive and comparable to other programs. It has capability to complete very complex image manipulation projects also. I am not a graphic designer, but have found it has a low barrier to entry if you have prior knowledge of other image manipulation programs.
- Vast range of options.
- Intuitive user interface.
- Good use of layering.
- No option to export in CMYK format.
- Some features are less intuitive than others.

- You have limited options for developing 3D designs.
- Its interface can be somewhat uncomfortable and confusing.

GIMP is my go-to platform for image manipulation
GIMP is used for image manipulation across a number of channels including social media, advertising, postcards, flyers, and other day-to-day materials. The platform addresses the need for brand consistency across both physical and digital uses. GIMP also provides simple tools for layering images when constructing a flyer or complicated brand portfolio.
- GIMP has a large number of tools at your disposal for manipulating any type of image and exporting in any necessary format.
- GIMP does a great job of making everything intuitive so that even a new user can layer images or make an image transparent in little time.
- GIMP can sometimes take awhile to load, especially when downloading new font types.
- Some of the complex features need a workaround method that requires copying or adjusting a layer before being able to make the desired changes. This can make some projects take a fair amount of time.
GIMP is being used by our development team. We have a marketing team in our organization but when we need to create and/or modify graphics that we need in our applications, we use GIMP to quickly make the changes. GIMP fits our needs in that we don't have to pay for an expensive Photoshop license for the minimal changes we need to make.
- GIMP has all the tools that Photoshop has which allows us to be as creative as we want.
- GIMP has continual upgrades that fix bugs and add new features.
- GIMP has a great user community.
- It would be nice to have the keyboard shortcuts match Photoshop as that is what designers are used to. The transition from Photoshop to GIMP would be a lot easier.
- When saving images for the web, it would be nice to have a side-by-side view of the full pixel image and the image you're trying to save showing what it will look like as you lessen the resolution.
