GIMP is a free photo manipulation tool that is also very powerful and has lots of useful functions. It is compatible to almost all types of photo files and has a lot of useful tools that will help you to complete your tasks. It can be used to manipulate or to retouche images with the help of it’s useful gadgets like: painting tool, transforming tool, selection tool and many others. GIMP has a very intuitive and friendly interface that makes it very easy to use by beginners and by experienced users also. It has also a lot of helpful plugins available for you to download to add new effects or to read more file formats.
You can create graphics, design logos, re-size and crop photos, combine images together, remove parts of an image, enhance photos, and create animated images using the freeware GIMP (GNU or General Image Manipulation Program). While often suggested as a free application to replace the expensive Adobe Photoshop program, GIMP’s designers did not set out to design a Photoshop clone and GIMP has a different user interface system. GIMP does not support the Pantone colors, but can do everything else Adobe Photoshop can.
GIMP is easy to use with simple tools to manipulate images and photos. GIMP provides the complete suite of typical painting tools including pencil, brush, airbrush, clone, and a gradient editor that is excellent. Advanced users will appreciate the options provided by layers, channels, and the unlimited redo / undo options. Only the available memory space in your computer system will limit GIMP’s performance, so you can easily have several images open at the same time.
Other tools available in GIMP include transformation, a variety of selection tools, and a foreground extraction tool which allows you to cut the background away from a selected image. Animators will appreciate the layer format and the frame navigator, allowing easy changes to the animation frame by frame. GIMP allows users to alter the format of images and can load, display, and convert an image into bmp, gif, jpeg, pdf, tiff, mng, png, psd, tga, and many other recognised formats.
