GIMP is a free editor that is an excellent choice for working with raster graphics. The software differs from similar programs in convenience, extensibility with plug-ins and simplicity. With the help of GIMP, the user will be able not only to easily edit their photos by applying a variety of factory or custom filters and effects on them, but also transform both raster and vector drawings using built-in tools. The software is suitable for Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems. You can download the official version of GIMP for free using our website.
Features of GIMP
- The editor interface is unusual. Instead of the usual line of tools, the GIMP menu is a miniature concentration of buttons.
- The extension supports the display of two histograms: RAW, that is, internal, and Live, real. Using the "Exposure" control, you can change the illumination level of the image.
- Supports a fairly large number of graphic formats. For example: PSD and ABR.
- Editing tools are diverse. The user can work with masks, layers, filters and blending modes.
- GIMP shows the actual size of the layer. Moving the image outside the canvas gives additional convenience to users.
- There are many discoloration patterns in the software. The intelligent function allows you to choose one of the suggested options.
Using filters, tools, masks and layers with different types of overlay, you can:
- crop photos;
- remove defects like dust on the matrix;
- simulate the use of different color filters;
- restore lost detail in shadows.
