An In-depth Review of GIMP

Hello GIMP community. Welcome back. No long post for now. But I’m going to share a link that’s worth your time reading. If you are interested to know more about how GIMP will be used by Graphics Professionals and for the would be people that’s planning to use GIMP for their graphic production needs, head over to Dave Girard’s post attechnica.com entitled Suite freedom: a review of GIMP 2.6.4.

Ars brings you a massive, in-depth review of one of the most popular cross-platform photo editing programs available. And, somewhat ironically for an application that shares a name with the chained-up guy from Pulp Fiction, it’s completely free. >>

I enjoyed reading the article for it’s kind of transparent in many ways. David did a comparisons of what GIMP can do, what it can’t  and what workarounds you can apply. As I browse through the pages I was informed of sad truths that most of have, GIMP enthusiasts, probably knew. At least for the moments. Hey, enough is enough here, go check out the David’s review and enjoy!

The GIMP – In between those giants

I was quite amazed and surprised when I stumbled upon a blog entry entitled Popular Post Production Software from digital Photography School wherein they have conducted a reader question “Which Post Production Software do you use?” It lead to roughly 200 readers/respondents who had mentioned their preferences from professional to online to free software tools. A lot of our GIMP users/enthusiasts/guerrillas raised GIMP as their preferred tool and they were the very reason behind the result (graph) below.
