skysnap 2 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I learned photoshop back in 2004s or around I remember. It was a good software learning experience at that time. In fact the software was pretty much not much established at that point. But then over a period of time the software started becoming more popular and many other companies came out with their own brands of photoshop clone. Recently one completely free and open source software also came out in the market. This software was known as GIMP. Many people who can't afford photoshop makes use of them. So if you have used both softwares, then which one is your favorite? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ARD 3 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I have never used Gimp, as I always have been a fan of Photoshop. Just a shame it costs so much money nowadays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mace 4 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I've never really used GIMP, but I've used PhotoShop for quite some time. Nowadays, I use mainly use Sketch or Adobe XD to design, but sometimes I still use PhotoShop as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Esmee 17 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I can't say much about GIMP considering my limited exposure. But the GIMP was pretty much hard to navigate due to the interface. That seems to be the issue with the open source community. They are extremely bad at the design. And that's one more reason Adobe seems to be having more control over the market.

Puppuccino 42 Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I don't have Photoshop anymore but I would chose that over Gimp. It's much more sophisticated and has been tooling for complex jobs. The only problem is that it's so darn expensive though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jake 5 Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Photoshop. Hands down. I hate GIMP and it’s horrible. If you prefer GIMP over Photoshop, we have a real problem! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you prefer GIMP over Photoshop, we have a real problem! I prefer not paying perpetually for a piece of software I use once a quarter if I’m lucky. The UI in gimp isn’t great, but if it stops me paying I’m all for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you have the money and want to invest into a program, get Photoshop. Photoshop is sometimes worth the price. GIMP is free for a reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malcolm 28 Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 May I suggest another contender? I use Affinity, and I absolutely love it. Compared to GIMP you'd need to pay for a license however it is a lot cheap than Photoshop. Check it out here https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_B_ 3 Posted October 18 Share Posted October 18 (edited) I definitely like the use of Photoshop and I personally find it quite easy to use. However, as a free alternative, GIMP really isn't that bad at all (but to be honest, it has been some time since I did use it). I would also think paint.net is not bad too. But, I would definitely consider Photoshop highly because it is just much easier to navigate and use. Edited October 18 by _B_ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
