Overall Satisfaction with GIMP
As a testing analyst, I am oftentimes tasked to write various types of technical documentation which in most cases involves graphical instructions in a form of images, screenshots, diagrams, charts etc. GIMP is an amazing free graphics editor that suits me very well when I need to edit these images before embedding them in the documentation I write. It has a very powerful set of tools that can easily compete with super expensive professional graphics editors, and at the same time, it's fairly easy to learn to use.
- Resizing and cropping images
- Working with layers (text, images etc.)
- Exporting images in various formats
- The UI could be revamped to reflect more modern UI trends (for example, material design look)
- The Export menu could be made more intuitive and allow to easily choose file extension, quality etc.
- Would be great if GIMP natively supported digital negative files (RAW)
- It is completely free for commercial and personal use
- It has a vide specter of professional graphics editing tools
- GIMP is freeware, which allows organizations that are not graphics-centered to use the powerful toolset without spending money on very expensive alternatives
- GIMP is fairly easy to learn and does not require extensive user training (especially, if used for basic tasks)
