About

The best version ever, so smooth. Apple Silicon support! Fully functional, in-app purchases allow people to support the project. This is an easy-to-use but powerful image editor. It supports "layers". Imagine GIMP/Photoshop "light", most of the features non-professionals need to create awesome images. This incredible software is originally the amazing work of Mark Pazolli and many others (see the credits in the user guide). Make sure you have enough free memory. Images take a lot of memory! If you are looking for a free, easy-to-use, image editing application with "layers", this is the one. Seashore was designed to provide basic image editing tools for non-professional users. The project was started by Mark Pazolli in 2003, “borrowing some ideas, resources and source code, as the developer originally put it. Seashore has also been using the version of the XCF file format from ca. 2003 as its native one. It should be able to handle any native Cocoa format.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • GIMP is a freeware image editing program. The main benefit of GIMP for myself was it was the only freeware tool to have extensions to support texture packing for animation files. With that said, the software has pretty much all options one would expect in an image editing service. Without extensions I did not notice anything in this that could be uniquely only done in GIMP on a high level.
  • Open Source and Free. Great image editing feature - Photo retouching. Good documentation / tutorials on website. Available across OS.
  • I've been using GIMP for over a decade, and I love how the app has grown. One of its biggest strengths is that it's open source. If someone has an idea for a useful or interesting graphic effect, someone else will make a plugin that does it. It's the best PhotoShop dupe out there and can do almost anything the very expensive program offers.
  • I find this software is so much like photoshop, I don’t miss a thing. Best of all, it is a free solution.
  • GIMP has a lot of features that are on Photoshop, but GIMP is free, contrary to Adobe's Photoshop. It also is open-source software, so you can customize it at your own will.

Cons

  • The user interface of this image editor versus the closest competitor, Paint.net is severely lacking. The ease of use and finding features is exceedingly difficult as well. I also have noticed the performance for this tool is substantially worse in my experience then other comparable image editors. GIMP also natively does not support DDS files which was a problem for my project.
  • Interface is not as refined as Photoshop so not as easy to use, especially if you have used PS already.
  • GIMP has a steep learning curve, and for some people it's too steep. But if you're willing to put in the time and watch a lot of YouTube video tutorials, you'll have a powerful program at your disposal. The biggest lack I've found is no good support for the YMCK colors needing for print applications.
  • The software can be buggy at times, but so can Photoshop.
  • I haven't found much problems while using GIMP, only that some things are hidden in the menus.
