It fires on all cylinders most of the time. Photoshop is a superstar piece of software, corporate-owned and corporate-controlled. It’s done more in a it takes a village freestyle manner. This isn’t necessarily done in an orderly corporate manner. GIMP is open source (go see that GNU entry above), which means there’s an army of programmers and users who fix, test, augment and upgrade the software. GIMP versus Photoshopįirstly, GIMP is free. I’ll give you a very quick, down and dirty comparison of the two products.
However, dollars to donuts you’ve probably heard of its For Pay, For Profit competitor Adobe Photoshop. This week’s Digital Product Crunch is a on one of the mostly widely used (and widely useful) programs that you’ve probably never heard of. If you want to learn more about what GNU means, please visit this handy dandy Wikipedia GNU entry. I refuse to explain that further (because…honestly I can’t).
And yes, GNU is another acronym…a recursive acronym in fact. GIMP is an acronym that stands for GNU Image Manipulation Editor.
Before you say that GIMP is the most unfortunately named photo editing software in the world, I should clarify its moniker.
