Gimp is the only free alternative to photoshop that actually measures up feature wise. That its UI doesn't exactly mirror Adobe's isn't a negative. Many of Gimp's differences (key shortcuts to paste into a new image or drag and drop resizable select boxes, etc) are things that I never realized I wanted in an image editor until I made the switch.
- heliodor 9y agoIt doesn't have to mirror Photoshop, but the UX has to be good. With Gimp, it's not. People can claim all they want that Gimp is fine (after getting used to using it), but there's a clear voice in the public that Gimp's UX is terrible.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoI used to hear people complaining more about the UI before the single window mode became available. Nowadays I hear few complaints about the UI. That isn't to say it's perfect, but I get the impression people have other concerns now.
- revicon 9y agoI definitely agree, the single window mode is way better.
- mixmastamyk 9y agoI’ve used multiple image editors for 25 years and the UI is fine, meaning good enough.
