We've all heard of Photoshop and the great things it can do for photo manipulation, but for those who need an open-source, no-cost alternative, there's an answer: GIMP. Far from being a complete Photoshop replacement, it can easily fill the role of a photo editor for many of the basic tasks that Photoshop is more than competent at.
GIMP is a powerful free image manipulation software. It allows you to reduce noise, perform color correction, use brushes, gradients, and create collages and posters. GIMP provides continuous development, you can use Photoshop plugins to work in GIMP, any program lag is quickly eliminated. All this makes for a truly impressive image editing and photo restoration software that is superior to many commercial programs.
Full screen mode and facial skin editing:
The software has a great full-screen mode, so you can not only preview your photos, but you can also do basic image editing while making the most of your screen. The basic image editing here is similar to what Photoshop offers. If you can learn Photoshop, you can learn GIMP.
You can fix perspective distortion caused by the lens, use a channel mixer to create beautiful black and white photos, add vignettes, etc. GIMP is also good for photo retouching. Use the clone tool to remove small objects or retouch skin and hair.
Reads any file format:
GIMP photo editor is designed to allow you to easily work with files of any format, whether RAW or PSD (Photoshop format). Photoshop does not support GIMP's file format, XCF files.
Third-party plugins by Photoshop:
In fact, GIMP has the necessary features that can be extended as needed through plugins and extensions. In fact, the additional features that come pre-installed in the program are sometimes not enough.
The developers took care of this and provided an extensible access. That is, the program allows you to experiment and add filters. Of course, the stacks written in Python are great, they can be added manually and saved for further work on the ready-made template.
