Customizable Interface

Each task requires a different environment and GIMP allows you to customize the view and behavior the way you like it. Start from the widget theme and change colors, widget spacings, and icon sizes to custom tool sets in the toolbox. The interface is modulized into so called docks. That allows you to stack them into tabs or keep them open in their window. Pressing the tab key will toggle them hidden. GIMP Photo Editor features a great fullscreen mode, which allows you to not only preview your artwork but also do editing work while using most of your screen estate.

Photo Enhancement

Numerous digital photo imperfections you can easily compensate using GIMP Photo Editor. Fix perspective distortion caused by lens tilt simply choosing the corrective mode in the transform tools. Eliminate lens barrel distortion and vignetting with a powerful filter but a simple interface. The included channel mixer gives you the flexibility and power to get your B/W photography to stand out the way you need.

Digital Retouching

GIMP Photo Editor is ideal for advanced photo retouching techniques. Get rid of unneeded details using the clone tool, or touch up minor details easily with the new healing tool. With the perspective clone tool, it’s not difficult to clone objects with perspective in mind just as easily as with the orthogonal clone.

Hardware Support

GIMP Photo Editor includes a very unique support for various input devices out of the box. Pressure and tilt sensitive tablets, but also a wide range of USB or MIDI controllers. You can bind often-used actions to device events such as rotating a USB wheel or moving a MIDI controller’s slider. Change the size, angle, or opacity of a brush while you paint, and bind your favorite scripts to buttons. Hence, speed up your workflow!

Supported File Formats

The file format support ranges from the common likes of JPEG (JFIF), GIF, PNG, and TIFF to special use formats such as multi-resolution and multi-color-depth Windows icon files. Furthermore, the architecture allows to extend GIMP’s format capabilities with a plug-in. Also, you can find some rare format support in the GIMP plugin registry.

Thanks to the transparent virtual file system, it is possible to load and save files to from remote locations using protocols such as FTP, HTTP, or even SMB (MS Windows shares) and SFTP/SSH. To save disk space, you can save any format with an archive extension. ZIP, GZ, or BZ2 and GIMP will transparently compress the file without you needing to do any extra steps.
