Headline: Wilbert The Dog Eats Photoshop!

A Swiss Knife of image editors GIMP is one of my favorite tools in the Opensource realm. It is so simple that anyone could use, it is also powerful enough to even have scripting capabilities. Don't get me wrong if you are used to Photoshop, it would be difficult to cope up with the flying windows here and there (GIMPShop might help here though). Truth be told it can do 98% of what Photoshop can do and adds a few features of its own.


If you are are into image editing then GIMP is a must have, no question about it. Wilbert will be eating up a lot of competitors in few years time, you quote me on that!

Best Alternative

This is the best alternative since Adobe is so expensive, however I agree with the most feedback here: the usability should be in the major improvement for the next release.

An Open Source Arsenal for Photographers

There has never been a better time to be interested in digital photography. Not only do inexpensive digital cameras offer great high-resolution photos, but they come with very advanced feature sets. Over the years on OStatic, we've also covered a huge number of open source applications that can make editing, organizing and adding effects to digital photos much easier. If you're under the impression that you must have Photoshop to be a top-notch photo editor, think again. The open source applications that are available are beyond robust. Here is our updated collection of great tools for the digital photographer--and all of them are free.



Free FOSS Books: Our Latest Collection of Online Guides

We round these up on a regular basis here at OStatic, and in this post you'll find our latest updated collection of online books that you can get comfortable with quickly. They introduce essential concepts for getting started with Linux, Firefox, Blender (3D graphics and animation), GIMP (graphics), and much more.

Are there Any Cloud-based Alternatives for GIMP?

Guys I have been using Ubuntu for sometime and it is excellent (for a user like me!). However, I want to know if I could find a full fledged cloud-based alternative for GIMP. I have seen some applications that work totally on cloud and do a lot of work pretty smooth, but they don't really replace Ubuntu totally. Could you please suggest something?

Is there a good open source Flash development program?

I am slogging through the development of my real estate website. I see Flash content on really cool sites. I am also delving into creating photographic panoramas because they convey such a realistic view of the property. Hugin or GIMP?

thanks,

GIMP 2.4.5 on Mac OS X

New Mac user here (I previously used GIMP on my PC). When I open a jpg file on my Mac, the image properties are substantially different than the original. For example, I take large format digital photos and they are usually 3,888 x 2,592 px with a file size of around 4 MB. When I open the same picture in GIMP the file properties are 360 x 240 px. This never happened on my PC. I can't find anything in the documentation to explain this. What am I missing (besides a bunch of pixels)?

Thanks

Any good GIMP tutorial sites for beginners?

I'm just starting to use GIMP to do some basic web design. I have no professional training/background in either web design or GIMP and am looking for some good tutorial resources that could help me scale the learning curve quickly.

I ran a couple of google searches and there are 100s of sites that talk about GIMP but I was hoping someone could point me to a couple that would be useful for a first-time user like myself...
