I like gimp, worked great, used it with blender to raster some neat effects....... but then i discovered bit torrentsnow i have adobe CS3 Suite
I am using Gimp, but for a while didn't do anything special, due to I didn't have the need to do something.. more busy with programming lately..
Gimp is really great, it can do so much and I see that more and more resources are spreading in the net, different tutorials and articles of how to do something, what others are used to do with other graphic suits, like photoshop and etc.  which is quite expensive, if you aren't to serious about graphics.
It really is a great choice, and by far the best free open source option I have yet to see for graphic design options. I personally use the old standard, photoshop, as I have access to a copy but if you don't the gimp is an amazing substitute as people can create many comparable level design with the toolset provided without the overhead of the expensive software purchase. While I know the gimp is not for everyone as I know of a handful of people who simply do not like it for whatever reason (tools available, gui design, intuitiveness, etc) for the majority of users it is a great application that will serve them very well. I recommend it to anyone looking for an image editor without the coin to drop on photoshop (or that has it but isn't serious enough about image editing to do so).
I really love GIMP. It came with my ubuntu installation right out of the box. It's really a great software and you can do everything (or almost, not sure) that you could with a paid software, like photoshop. I'm not really a graphic designer, but I do like to edit pictures to my liking, and so far GIMP has given me all the tools I need for that.
I really hope someday it could be considered as one of the best software out there for editing images, because it really is a good piece of software that deserves the best.
Ah, the Gimp. I love that program. Back in December 2007, I downloaded it on both my linux and windows partition of my PC, and started using it. It was hard at first, but I gradually learnt things about it and gone to the level I was at when I used photoshop, and discovered many interesting effects, though a basic gradient is usually my favourite still. I recommend anyone reading this to download it.
I use GIMP usually, but for more advanced things I use Photoshop ... lol, GIMP is a great alternative.
xboxrulz The GIMP, IMO, covers most of the things your average user would need. Most people don't need all the flashy things that Photoshop has to offer, and only really use GIMP's subset of Photoshop's features, such as layers, replacing backgrounds, lighten, darken, etc---basically things that pertain to image editing for amusement. The difference between the GIMP and Photoshop lies in their support for print design. Photoshop supports CMYK, which is very important for anyone designing for print. The GIMP, unfortunately, does not. (I do wonder why...) Anyways, if anyone is annoyed at the GIMP's ui, they can always download Gimpshop (http://www.gimpshop.com/), which changes the ui to feel similar to that of Photoshop's. --arbitrary
I do use the GIMP, but I don't use it for advanced photo editing, just some basic stuff I don't need photoshop for
I have heard so much about GIMP, but I never needed to really use it. I think that if someone I know would need something like that, I would probably try it and then recommend it. I think I have posted many times about GIMP, so I won't do the Photoshop is great response.
My opinion is that I think GIMP may be good to use on a personal and fun level... But I think that on a professional level, it would be good to use Photoshop... or maybe that is just what I have learned. But then again, I always go back to 'use what you know and like.' - skedad -
I used it but it gave only errors.
 But i stil like it, its like free photoshop with less features. Latest Entries

now i have adobe CS3 Suite
I think GIMP might suite for manage photo but only for advanced who can write scripts.
As I knew that GIMP has build-in a script engine like photoshop now has javascript build-in into it . It should be almost any effect could be archived by use it. Some filter that GIMP bundles also was build by the script engine.
I think that the GIMP is great for manipulating any type of image except for photos. This is because it doesn't have more of the Photo editing tools in photo-editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, Picasa or software designed for photo-editing.
I use GIMP on both Windows and Linux, and found it to be quite useful for creating images. There is a script you can download to add Layer via Copy and layer via Cut options similar to those in Photoshop. And open-source is awesome!!

That would quite important for people who are thinking about the change due to costs or haven't yet decided which software to use...QUOTE(skedad @ Mar 12 2008, 08:18 PM) But I think that on a professional level, it would be good to use Photoshop... Again, why exactly?Sure, Gimp is not Photoshop but then again Gimp is completely free. As pointed out before, UI can be altered to resemble that from PS, while the programme itself is small. I must admit I've used PS long time ago, then switched to Gimp in favour of the open-source license. It's interesting that most people forget one of it's more important features - it's very small for the features it offers. Some time ago I searched for a smaller, simpler replacement for Gimp for the little everyday tasks. It surprised me that much software that brands itself "small and handy" are actually bigger when it come to size, while offering just the basic Paint-like functions. I'd like to say that the situation here is similar to that of early IE vs. Firefox conflict. People are so used to PS (which was developed with resources not available to the Gimp) that they think something is worse just because it's not PS, even though with a certain amount of effort (and with a huge amount of cash left in their wallet) they can replicate their results in Gimp as well. What do you experts think? What kind of errors? can you be more specific? The latest version works fine on linux and windows QUOTE(coolblinger @ Mar 17 2008, 02:35 PM) I used it but it gave only errors. But i stil like it, its like free photoshop with less features.
