Review Time
I have used Photoshop for 30+ years. I have tried GIMP a few times, but always gave up after a few minutes. The other day I downloaded it again and am currently doing my best to give it a fair shake. I have nothing but absolute hate for this program. The dev's have done everything in their power to not only be different from Photoshop, but this is different from every other graphical design program I have ever used. Everything is put somewhere you wouldn't expect it to be. Then when you do find what you are looking for, figuring out how to use it is like learning to ride a bike upside down. I absolutely hate it. I give it two stars simply because of the amount of features this software apparently has. I give it two stars because none of those features is where you expect them to be, using them is the clunkiest thing I have ever seen in any software I have ever used.
Then just check out the help. It takes you to a manual setup with links to various things. Index and all. Great job. But they could have at least added a search bar so you don't have to wade through pages of text looking for "Snap to grid" for example. Which is in the VIEW menu for some strange reason? Figure that one out without asking ChatGPT.

i had high hopes for it.but as others have said it is increcibly difficult to use.All i wanted to do was crop a picture. there are zillions of options..absolutely zillions but it seems to fail on the basic.so eventually i went online to search the help and found the path to crop..and i cropped the picture..next difficult part was..to SAVE it under a new name.. i could change the name but couldnt find SAVE button.. they need to go back to BASICS
I have just spent 20 minutes trying to get an image to print in the correct size. I have a large-format printer and am trying to print a 10x16" image on Super B paper. GIMP keeps changing settings back to letter. I've checked the bug reports and this has been reported repeatedly but nothing seems to have been done about it. Now I have to find some other way of getting this image printed in the needed size. The software does a lot, but this is a very basic problem and appears to be a longstanding one.
This app, once great, gets shittier with every passing update. Versions before 3.0 were stellar. From 3.0 to 3.04 GIMP has been in a steep, downhill slide. The app freezes up. Hot keys don't always pull up the wanted routine. Saving your file brings up a screen that covers up the normal folders screen. You then have to click on a tiny portion of the wanted save screen which is showing, to get to the bona fide save screen. This causes a series of very time-consuming stalls wherein all that one can do is pray that the image you've being working on doesn't get lost in a crash. When you finally save your document to a folder, you then have to CHECK that folder to see if it is, in fact, saved there! Are these new updates being run by Milloonials?
27 years of development and the copy/paste function doesnt even work correctly. If you look up "how to make a shape in Gimp" on Google, it basically says - Step 1 use a different program. Every person involved with this programs development should be embarrassed to have their names associated with this absolute trash. Further, Ive seen comments from people accusing the developers of making Gimp less user friendly, more glitchy, and removing features over time so im just going to go ahead and assume they are taking kickbacks from Adobe to make them looker better by comparison. PATHETIC!
The new updates are really buggy and some of the implimentations of the brushes/ shading/ scaling are actually worse now. It crashes a lot too. Had to uninstall it, i really enjoyed the older versions but the newest version runs really bad.
