New to GIMP? 10 tips for getting the most from this free image editor
"I've been using the GIMP image editor longer than I can remember. When I first started my GIMP journey, I knew next to nothing about image editing; the moment I opened GIMP, I felt lost. Over the years, I've developed not only an affinity for the application, but I also consider it one of the better image editors available today."
"Before you throw your hands in the air and proclaim, "I can't work with this user interface," I suggest you first become familiar with all the components of the UI. Even so, you might prefer customizing the UI to best suit your needs."
GIMP can feel intimidating at first but becomes accessible with familiarity and practice. Users should learn the UI components and optionally customize the layout to match personal or Photoshop-like workflows. PhotoGimp offers a patch to make the interface more familiar to Photoshop users. Layers and channels are fundamental features that enable editing separate image elements and improving results. Consistent use of masks, non-destructive techniques, keyboard shortcuts, and community plugins can significantly speed workflows. All recommended improvements and tools mentioned are free to use and aimed at making image editing in GIMP more efficient and productive.
