Another area where Gimp stands out is in its key binding support. In addition, Gimp supports filters written in the Perl scripting language (using the gimp-Perl scripting module). The wide variety of Gimp filters has allowed us to create some wonderful and interesting tiles. The additional filters that come with Gimp are unique and great for adding interesting features. The built-in set of filters match up to Photoshop’s initial version. One of Gimp’s strong points is its filter capabilities. On the positive side, it is heard that CMYK support is planned in the next coming version of Gimp i.e.
#GIMP VS PHOTOSHOP WITH PEN TABLET PROFESSIONAL#
This is one of the main reasons why the Gimp doesn’t hold much support in professional and commercial areas. All of Gimp’s operations currently take place in RGB mode, where all color values are stored as fractions of red, blue, and green. One of the areas where Photoshop still holds an edge is its support for CMYK. There are similar sets of built-in filters also in fact, filters are one of Gimp’s biggest features. The Layer features and masking which are also present in Photoshop are also very similar in the case of Gimp. In terms of tools, the Gimp matches tool for tool against the most current version of Photoshop. Now, the Gimp stands at version 1.2, reproduces the majority of Photoshop’s features, and offers a few more to boot. 0.99.5 which was indeed a great improvement from its earlier version. Unfortunately, the first version of Gimp i.e., (0.5, I believe) was far from what one could have expected.Ī couple of months after that, Gimp released its new version i.e.
Learning a new interface is painful for anybody, but it seems to be simply unacceptable for the graphics artist. But, Photoshop has a couple of advantages over Gimp and they are that Photoshop has “patented features” and “a common interface”. It costs around $600 these days and so as far as price is concerned, Photoshop loses out on this area. The hefty wad of cash one has to sacrifice to actually buy an authorized copy of Photoshop is a big prize indeed. For personal use, the Gimp will do everything and more but if you need a bitmap editor so you can create or edit images for commercial printing, you don’t want the Gimp, you want Photoshop as the Gimp lacks most of the required commercial features. On the other hand, people who use Photoshop, only use a fraction of its capabilities.
