I would love to see a migration of all these separate windows into one free flowing program. Four of them were the picture files I was editing, then I had a separate window for the GIMP tools, then another for the GIMP layers. At one point I had 6 windows open, all pertaining to GIMP. Aside from the options, I think that the interface still needs a little work. What I didn't really care for at the beginning was the sheer explosion of information that was given to me. From cutting and pasting, to in depth gradient editing and blending, it's got Advanced scripting capabilities (Scheme, Python, Perl) and best of all, this program is 100% FREE! It's worth it. You can do nearly everything with this program. They have in depth tutorials for beginners and advanced users alike.įor a product that is freeware, it packs a lot of sustenance and usability.

I wanted to see how far it could actually zoom in and so I proceeded to get up to a magnification of? get this, 25,600X. This caught me by surprise since most programs don't even go into this much depth and detail. I accidentally clicked about 3 times too many and noticed I was around 2000X zoom. I was having fun just messing around with the different utilities offered in the program when I started zooming in on a certain picture. You can use it for tasks like photo retouching, image composition and image authoring, online batch processing system, a mass production image renderer, an image format converter, etc. It's adaptable to nearly any task, from simple doodles to in-depth picture manipulation. I was a bit surprised to see the power behind this editor. But does it compare to most of the other image editors that are on the web? A freeware program that's caught the attention of lots of users. No, it's not the guy with the broken leg, it's GIMP! Or, more appropriately, the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Bluebox (in GAP, the GIMP Animation Package).
