I was able to create an image project with many layers and resize the layers as needed. > > **Cons**: It was a bit tricky to figure out how to be able to move the different layers as needed. I just had to play around with the software options to figure it out. > > GIMP was a great software that allowed me to have a free option rather than paying for a program like Photoshop. I was able to create a project with many layers and resize the layers as needed. ----- ### "Free toolbox for image tweaks" — 3.0/5 > **Tabarak** | *6 May 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I reached for GIMP whenever I needs a quick fix or a poster idea. Cropping, colour tweaks, and a sprinkle of filters run along nicely, and stacking layers costs me nothing but a click. > > **Cons**: Big files are another story. Throw a hefty blur or glow at them and the progress bar begins to crawl, while tool panels crowd the screen like chatty neighbours. ----- ### "Best Replacement for Photoshop" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 April 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gimp is the most reliable replacement for Adobe photoshop\! There's nothing that comes close. And it works on linux ;) > > **Cons**: The UI is quite clunky compared to photoshop, although I appreciate that they attempt to emulate most of the original features. > > Overall, it can be challenging at times to work with (since I have the muscle memory of Adobe Photoshop), but the best replacement out there. ----- ### "Try It...I dare you\!" — 5.0/5 > **BONNIE** | *3 December 2024* | Graphic Design Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gimp is a great alternative to Adobe Photoshop\! I did use Adobe Photoshop but to renew was expensive. After looking at cheaper alternatives, I went with Gimp. It has every feature that I have needed and I can export to many different file format. I use this in combination with my vector programs and you won't find a better deal with as many features as Gimp. There is also a wide array of tutorials to be found online. If you need a photo editor and don't want to spend alot, this is the program to try. > > **Cons**: It took a little bit to learn some of the features, but you can find numerous videos on how to use different features. It was no worse than learning to use Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator. > > I actually really like the program, and I REALLY like the price\! Gimp makes editing photos fun and makes my design process much easier. ----- Page: 1 / 141\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/168960/gimp?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/168960/gimp) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
