tpattison Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 The GIMP is very powerful - as powerful as Photoshop, but I find it more awkward to use. The tools are less discoverable and aren't as intuitive. Good if you can get used to it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIMPshop (a modification of GIMP that adjusts the user interface to be more like Photoshop) is better, but not much. However, it is free, and it will get the job done if you don't have Photoshop.

sarah Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 One thing I never seem to find are the controls for the magic-selection-tools and that kind of stuff. Or does it not exist such thing in the GIMP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjhwebdesign Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 try also paint.net (software name, not url) it's a clone of photoshop, but free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A description of the selection tools is here: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tools-selection.html I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to when you talk about "magic selection tools" -- that may be photoshop (or another image editing app) specific, and GIMP doesn't have that particular feature.

LSW Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 That is the "Magic Wand" icon for selection tools. I seem to recall GIMP having it, but maybe under a different name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhaslip Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 "Fuzzy Select Tool" Top row, looks like a magic Wand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
