GIMP is a main reason behind my success as it helps to attract more customers for my products. I recommend GIMP for anyone looking for a reliable photo editing software.
It’s not a program where you can just download it and master it in one sitting. I had trouble storing the edited pictures and would get weird marks on my saves.
I used it more times to edit my photos and get good photoshop, the result were very amazing and i got nice photos from GIMP. THANK YOU TO MADE SOFTWARE LIKE IT.
At times it seems cluttered and lags at times making it frustrating.
I love everything about GIMP , its easy to use and its such a beauty to Been using for over 4 Years now. I'm so proud of the developers for creating this wonderful software for us to be creative with.
My only issue was that I struggle with learning how to navigate the software.
It has every feature we need in an editor with an amazing community supporting GIMP with tools, tutorials, and guidance. Also, it is free which seems impossible coming the the Adobe Creative Suite.
The lack of features, and sometimes the UI feels old and it's difficult to find the correct features to do the job needed.
Ease of use, the training videos are super helpful, and the various products that can be used with VM is great. I can upgrade my machines as the business grows.
Lack of Customer Service in regards to any issues. Dont listen to problem want to lay blame of issues of program no working on faulty equipment when not the issue.
I've been using it for approx 25 years now has been great and is evolving and improving all the time and good value for money.
No drawing option, and constantly loses my artwork so file can't be opened.
Everything, the best on the market, I switched to VM 15+ years ago and it keeps getting better and better. If you want something that works then its VM.
Epson print drivers available. I'm forced to use other RIP software.
In general, a very good experience in terms of handling files of different types, ease of vectorizing and modifying, and the large number of brands and models of plotters supported.
Sometimes, I get an unexpected error or not responding message, I really don't think it's the programs fault. I can sometimes have up to 10 files open and working at the same time.
Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Brandy and I'm the CEO of a crafts retail company, and I give GIMP a four star rating. On an everyday basis I use GIMP to do some graphic stuff and editing images is the main thing that I use it for, on a daily basis basis. And it's very simple to use and it's got a very open source and free... A easy user interface, so it's been easy to learn how to do. I like that it's affordable and it's simple to use. And it's easy to do with... Layers you can do, and it walks you through everything very simply, where some of the other ones can be a little bit difficult. But so I like that and how well it does when you editing the images and stuff, everything turns out really good. It would be great if they could improve on the font systems. It's hard to do any editing to the fonts or anything like that, especially if you're already in it, you have to erase and start over. And it just doesn't have a whole lot of customization and good fonts that you can pick from. But other than that, the customer could be a little better. But other than that, it works great.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
