Han1996 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hello, I am currently very interested manipulating images and such. However, i realized that photoshop is not free and is quite expensive. Then someone told me about an app called gimp. What is the difference between gimp and photoshop and can i create great sigs like somes's, gold3n's if i learn using gimp for a long time?

Frux Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I am a using Gimp. I think i can confirm that gimp is a very good alternative for PS. I've made several sigs for myself, gifs, banners, etc. oh and my current sig is made from gimp too, including the gifs and ava. 353873 can i create great sigs like somes's, gold3n's if i learn using gimp for a long time? Yes, you can. Theres also alota guides on youtube or google.

Foobarbus Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Gimp is indeed very good. The stuff missing compared to Photoshop is never used anyways. However, I must warn you that it might not be as intuitive for firsttime users as photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Photoshop is a lot more user friendly and has more features for digital image manipulation. A combination of Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator is everything you will ever need to create an image of your standards. There are some free portable versions of those products but I am not talking about then nor sharing pirated links. As long as there are those that remember what was, there will always be those that are unable to accept what can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I personally use Photoshop. I tried Gimp once and didn't like it. Since I've been using Photoshop for about 4 or 5 years, I've gotten quite used to its layout and tools. I also think that Photoshop offers a lot of tools that Gimp doesn't, which may not be used as you start but they will become more useful later on. If you can, try to get a Photoshop. It'll be much better in the long run :) Check out PRO's Official Discord: https://discord.gg/FdtDfG4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatzum Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Open source all the way! But always use the tools you need to get a job done. If that can be done via free and open source then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huishou Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Gimp is nice, but Photoshop is much better. Aside from the obvious fact it's free, the user face takes a little getting used to, but some of the general advantages I would say are 1) it's updated more often than PS. 2) Being open source, it's very customizable, and there are always new user-developed plugins & tweaks & twerks being released. I personally use Photoshop with XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro drawing tablet with screen . It’s the best thing I ever did for photo editing. It’s seriously amazing.
