There are Pro and Beginner versions of the UI for ease of use, and in-app access to Pixabay for stock photos.Īs you may know from my other bio blurbs around the site, I’m Thomas Boldt, and I’ve been working with a wide range of digital image editing apps since long before anyone was even calling them apps. It’s got a familiar GIMP/Photoshop-style interface and all the editing tools you’ll need. If you need the best free alternative to GIMP, look no further than Photo Pos Pro. It’s far more powerful than GIMP with responsive retouching tools and AI-powered adjustments, and it’s also easier to learn with tons of help content available right inside the app. It almost doesn’t seem fair to include Photoshop, but it’s the best image editor out there for a reason. Just $19.99 a month gets you the best of the best, along with Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop for iPad, and 1TB of cloud storage space – plus there’s a free 30-day trial! If you’re willing to spend a tiny bit, the best alternative to GIMP is Adobe Photoshop – no question about it. Despite the recent interface improvements, it still has a long way to go before it can be accurately described as “user-friendly” Sure, you can customize the UI to make things a little smoother, but that can be difficult for many new users. While GIMP is powerful, it’s not exactly easy to learn.
But creative people often have very specific needs for their workflow, so today we’re going to look at some of the most popular GIMP alternatives in case you need something a bit different. I actually found Affinity Photo to be more user-friendly than Photoshop.GIMP is a powerful and capable image editor, and one of the best free options available. It runs $39–$49 depending upon whether or not you catch it during one of Affinity’s periodic sales (such as the recent one over the holidays, during which I snagged Affinity Designer, their alternative to Adobe Illustrator).Ĭoming from Photoshop, I was able to get up to speed in about 5 minutes. What I ended up settling on was a paid program, Affinity Photo. I ultimately decided to look up other programs that might be more my speed. I spent about an afternoon looking up ways to make GIMP more user-friendly, but I wasn’t very successful. Now, all of this, in time, could be learned or worked around, but there are also alternatives. However, coming from Photoshop, I found the UI to be a mess, from the arrangement of tools to the native install having a tiny UI on high-DPI displays. Not only does one have to figure out the workflow, but they have to install a new icon set, etc just to make the UI usable. The initial UI for GIMP from a fresh install.
