Though Photoshop remains the most recognizable image editing application out there, open-source alternative GIMP is still around, still free, and still receiving updates. In this video tutorial, photographer Shane Milton spends around 25 minutes demonstrating how to use the software to apply a pro-level beauty edit to an agency's model image.
If you want to go fully open source for your photo editing, Milton is a great resource. His YouTube library offers numerous other videos on GIMP and free Lightroom alternative Darktable. In this particular video, Milton uses a Wacom Intuos Pro Small tablet with GIMP 2.9 running on Linux. He previously demonstrated optimizations that users could make to this version of GIMP, as well as setting up the Wacom tablet for use with Linux.
GIMP can be downloaded at this link for Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD, and Solaris.
After almost 6 years...wow...a Windows installer isn't currently being avialable, but after such a long time, it takes just a bit more. ;) I'd guess during the next 24-48 hours.
YES, so glad to see GIMP getting some love! It's an awesome piece of software. I've been using Linux exclusively since 2012, and have learned to do everything I need to do on GIMP, Darktable (AMAZING raw developer) and Hugin, alongside a couple other tools like Luminance HDR and ImageMagick ("convert" command) in a shell.
Those programs are really worth their salt. I'm really excited for upcoming versions of GIMP. I read in other comments down there that adjustment layers were coming. I'd love it if parametric blending ("Blend if" in Photoshop, parametric blending in Darktable) was also added.
I am an old-time Linux user (since about 1998), professional Linux systems developer and Open Source author (QDirStat and KDirStat). I've been using Gimp exclusively for my photography since I started it back in 2004.
Yet it took me quite a while to figure out what the hell this "gmic" is, what it is good for, and why I would want it. Not only do the authors of that software not bother to explain any of this on their web pages, no, you just follwed suit by dumping just this raw link without any explanation whatsoever.
Is it really asking too much to explain in two or three sentences what that thing is, and why anybody here in this forum might want to use it? Seriously. (This question goes to you as well as to the original authors of that software).
Sorry, here is a link that explains it fairly well I think. https://gmic.eu Sorry but I don't think I can explain it nearly as well as they can, I have used it for years. I can open the image in gimp and then open the gmic plug-in and just use the plug-in instead of gimp for almost every adjustment.
I have used GIMP for years on both Linux and Windows 10. It may not have all the bells and whistles of Photoshop, but nothing can beat its price-to-performance ratio :-)
Gimp is a photo editor - it edits photos - it does not matter if the photo is a supermodel or a dog turd.
Like the Honey Badger of photo editors - it doesn't care.
If you are looking for a totally free, mature, not cloud, no-vendor-lock-in, you keep control over your intellectual property, works on ANY platform photo editor - use GiMP.
Went from CS2 to Gimp long ago when I needed 4 color separation euroscale for an ad, which was easily available for the Gimp at that time. No regrets, no re-learning on every update.
I've been using gimp since 2003 and love it, seen a lot of growth in the program. And yes it can be a challenging program to use, but so is Linux...but most user don't understand that a lot of program are started on a Linux machine before they port it to windows change it's name than make you pay
Gimp...appears to have the tools but general file management I found to be totally unintuitive (read, impossible), so I'll stick to the old and trusted apps. You shouldn't need to have to read a manual for this stuff.
I'm guessing he might mean photos management. That's best done in numerous other free(dom) applications where Gimp can be considered in concert wit them. There are many combo apps also. DigiKam does extensive management. Such as face(people) recognition and tagging management.
I'm talking about re-sizing/re-sampling images, something so easy in PS but a total mess in Gimp unless there was some kind of a bug present... Anyway I've returned to using PS and LRoom. I doubt Gimp is as old as PS which I've used since Vs 1.7
Gimp 2.9.x are all experimental, unstable Releases. The final stable will be 2.10.x, and atm, the Gimp 2.10-RC2 is being current, which means Release Candidate 2. Perhaps the Gimp developers bring another RC3, or even more...before the final, stable 2.10 Release. True 16bit TIF support was badly needed, and the main reason, i dumped Gimp many years ago from my workflow. Besides this, i do know Gimp from the 90's and have used it way many years onto my Linux rig.
My advice is to use Debian stable (after a year as newbie with LinuxMint Mate). stable keeps all the stable versions automatically upgraded along with everything else. For those concerned about too much stability on fast moving apps then it will undoubtedly be available in backports for Debian (stable). You don't even have to compile anything!
Keep your Windows. Get an inexpensive SSD. Go to the LinuxMint site and get the Mate version for your 32bit or 64bit CPU. Read the directions on how to make a bootable USB drive and run LinuxMint setup as a dual boot (and workaround Microsoft's lock-you-out tricks) and have THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
You will overtime realize you don't need Windows; but do not delete it at first. With about a year of heavy use you can make what you like out of Debian stable. Which is only challenging to install the first time. See Debian live versions (Mate) that you can also install if you like. Then you just have to make your choices because nothing is forced.
I've been using Debian since the "Potato" release, which is a way long time ago. Tried many distros before & afterwards, currently being on Xubuntu, but i'll be back on Debian, as soon, as i do have my old Linux rig being updated.
Why all this Linux talk in this thread? Gimp is OpenSource, but not Linux centric. It installs on Windows even better and more then half people using it are on Windows.
@CarpentersEye yada yada. This is off-topic here. I know about Linux (also about color management etc.) more then you since a have a more then 10 years of experience. Closed source can't harm you if you unplug the cable.
I'm not sure why they make a big deal that GIMP is running on Linux; GIMP runs on any major OS. The difference, I suppose, if you're running Linux you ~only~ get GIMP. If you're running Windows you can choose from GIMP or a hundred other programs.
GIMP’s performance is just unacceptable for me on macOS. It takes at least a couple of seconds to do any adjustment on a 24MP file, and my machine is a 15” MacBook Pro with Nvidia 750M.
@manuth: Yes, they kind of "broke" performance for macOS after 2.6 by switching graphics libraries - very annoying! On the official GIMP web site you only get 2.8 for macOS, however, there is a build based on the latest version - https://www.partha.com/downloads/McGimp-2.9-std.app.zip - I had given up on GIMP for almost two years before I came across this version and it is fast again and perfectly usable on macOS.
Looks like there's a 2.10 out as well, but I haven't tried it yet.
@Sessility: does it actually use the dGPU? I have a small app running in the system tray that shows the graphics card being used (and force either one if you want to) and GIMP never causes it to show dGPU at all.
@manuth: Don't know - all I know is the official version is too slow for my liking on the Mac: If I change a tone curves I want the result to be instantaneous as I "play" with the curve - the "Partha" version pretty much gives me that.
Thanks! Although I neither care for that kind of photography nor the editing, I'll have a look into it because I haven't really gotten into Gimp yet (because I usually don't need more than what my Raw Developer does). Nice to see Linux gets some attention here. Not so nice to see that it immediately starts the operating system wars in the comments ;-)
I used to do all post processing in Gimp, but when there is a need for help beyond your abilities, you're in for trouble. Acronyms and developer's lingo made things tough to comprehend. Nowadays, I just use Gimp as a platform for G'Mic.
GIMP is great, but be careful about overselling it. GIMP may have had a few features before Photoshop, but it is still very disappointing to see that the release notes in the last 6 months for GIMP mention several "new" features that have been in Photoshop for 15 to 20 years!
He forgot to post the 60 hour video of how to install linux, apt-get apps and install with all dependencies, manage patches, drop down to command line to adjust good stuff in /etc/conf, troubleshoot your video drivers while trying to push them for 4K dual monitor setup... Then you spend 25 minutes in Gimp editing a single image
and spend next 10 hours wiping the machine, installing windows and all new set of applications (or replacing it with a Mac) because there is no application to control your camera remotely, can't upgrade your camera firmware from linux or load/review images on the fly in tethered mode as you shoot for work and not just for making youtube videos to make a point.
And then after having installed Windows again you notice your error: You could just have used VMWare to install Windows in a virtual machine for those special applications you (think you) need. Of course you can install Linux in a virtual machine on windows but that might be an issue because you have to reinstall WIndows over and over again because of the Viruses you install when looking for appropriate FREE SOFTWARE - which would be as simple as using just a backup Windows virtual image in linux instead of going through the hassle of reformatting the drive, running the installer, installing drivers (after downloading them - good luck with downloading a driver for your network card).
Don't be an ass about Linux install trouble. That's so 1999.
1. You can use freedom programs on Windows.
2. Rather, simply start with Linux Mint and the Mate desktop. Follow Linux Mint instructions to install from a USB stick or ask a friend if you are non-technical. https://www.linuxmint.com/
3. Once you have used Linux Mint a year or two then you will want to move to Debian STABLE. Which is hard to install once; only because it is the building blocks of the way you want it to be. However the Deb Live with Mate is pretty easy to install. The second time one installs debian is easy.
4. All this can be done as a simple (native) dual boot with windows. That way there are no issues with virtualization. Which is a special case; but not native install. While one can run open-code programs on Windows or Windows programs though Playonlinux on LinuxMint; that's not better. Run native programs on their native OS. That's best. Such as; just run Libre Office on LinuxMint (not Windows Office). KISS. What's in a name after all? There are plenty of site (some good) that tell you that name of similar Linux apps compared to Windows(or mac).
When you simply run Gimp beside any other photo app and when you install LinuxMint as a separate native dual boot to Windows then you lose absolutely nothing and gain everything! IT IS ALL FREE TRY. Then it stays free. Even daily improvements. Try!
Yes, there are numerous other Linux OS's distribution for specific needs. Trust me. Start with LinuxMint with Mate desktop environment(32 or 64 bit to match your CPU). Once installed then it is simple to move the Mate task bar(panel) to the bottom; if you wish. it is extremely FAMILIAR and easy if you just look. It scales to nearly any computer you'd have and has low memory requirements; but USE YOUR BEST not your worse computer.
Next to a dual boot; (You will need to simply follow special directions to work around Win LOCK YOU IN (in)Secure boot crap) then if you have a second drive options one could simply buy an inexpensive SSD drive (small and inexpensive is OK; they are FAST) for installing LinuxMint! Completely optional but optimal.
- GIMP is available for Windows - I set up a laptop with Linux this weekend. Took ~1/2 hour. apt-get+dependencies? User-friendly distributions like Mint take care of that- Just click on "Install GIMP". Sure, very specialized hardware may lack support, but most of the time it just works.
Yeah just go get LinuxMint w/Mate, 32 or 64bit and follow the direction correctly. Use a USB stick or other fast flash media. Don't just copy it to the USB. Follow directions and you can boot it live to check it out BEFORE installing. Read how to keep Microsoft from messing you up on newer computers and you're good as gold.
KEEP Windows if you want. Decide at boot up and run both for a long while. When one peeves you then go back to the other, Eventually you don't need Windows. In fact if you just trash Windows you will forget it's cons. So why not keep it and do BOTH?
Make sure all the devices in your computer are working perfectly and while Linux runs faster there's still no substitute for a fast enough computer. Use your fastest.
I think there's a bit of truth in everyone's reply. Only last weekend I dual booted an old Windows laptop with Linux Mint. Very pretty, but as soon as you move a millimetre away from the cosy built-in app catalog/installer thing and head onto the web, you are immediately confronted with geeks spouting all that sudo git deb command line crap, like the old days of DOS (which I grew up with). I am a Blender and FreeCAD user, so love (good) open source software, and really want to like Linux, but even the friendliest Linux distros like Mint still feels very inferior to Windows.
@JohnnyP, Ha! Have you installed Linux lately compared to Windows? Linux takes 15 minutes, just asks a couple of username/login type questions, and comes up running -- right resolution, on the network, sound working. Windows takes 50 reboots and 50 hours of updates. Not even close. And then there's all the special driver disks for non-working video, non-working network, 5 other things banged out in the control panel.
In fact, all of Linux hardware detection is done at bootup. You can actually install Linux on one HDD, move it to a completely different computer with all different hardware, and on first boot it comes up working with correct video, network, sound, USB. Let's see Windows do that!
I use Linux (as a virtual machine on my Mac) and it still cracks me up how the Linux imply that Linux is user-friendly.
Linux is great for folks that are PC-saavy. No one argues that. I've used it for years. However, let's get one thing straight. Linux is not for the general public no matter how many times you guys say it is. It's not. People trying to save a buck by installing a "free" OS and "free" photo app are in for a rude surprise.
"Free" is actually expensive when one factors in their time, which to many never seem to factor in, or believe their time has no value.
WOW the amount of clueless is amazing from this guy. Takes 10 min to download say Linux Mint 18 XFCE, 15 min to make a USB boot disk and 15 min to have to installed. GIMP already comes installed with most distros. You can also not get Gimp 2.10 Beta which is pretty nice.
Call me a troll for stating the truth is just proves you have zero to debate. Obviously I hit a nerve so you know there is truth to it.
I'm a Linux user for over 15+ years, and administer it in the enterprise. Nowhere in my post did I compare Window to Linux, or implied in any way some kind of superiority to it. There is a reason Linux has not penetrated to the desktop for the masses. For folks like us, Linux is a breeze. For non-PC-saavy users, it is not. I accept it because it is the norm.
Don't get your undies all winded up. It's almost a guarantee that anyone recommending Linux to Joe-user-photographer, and using Gimp on top of that is going to abandon that system in a day or two. Being able to download Ubuntu and have it up and running in minutes is NOT the same as actually using it.
But hey, go ahead and just call peoples "trolls" for not agreeing with your preaching.
"Manage patches", seriously? :) Sounds very 1990's.
(I do create and apply patches while using Linux in my day job as a software developer, but that's not something your average desktop user needs to think about)
"There is a reason Linux has not penetrated to the desktop for the masses. For folks like us, Linux is a breeze. For non-PC-saavy users, it is not."
I don't think that's true. In my surroundings, there are quite a number of "non-PC-savvy users" who switched to Linux and have found it to be intuitive and easy to use and offering all they need and don't want to go back. I rather think it's only the "folks like us" who want to tweak things because they know it can be done, who find themselves venturing into the depths of the system and getting the impression that Linux can't be used without such efforts. But it does.
As long as you don't need to do things which can't be done on Linux. And that's still its foremost problem, which either can't be solved or can only be solved with more effort than on a Windows PC or Mac. Still, with the help of Wine and VirtualBox for the three or four Windows applications I still need, I really find myself liberated after making the jump.
@Gmon750: Actually, I'd say it's the other way around. The less computer saavy someone is, the better time they'll have on Linux. Take my father-in-law for example. Grandfather type. Could he keep up with virus cleaning, and all the instincts about which emails were safe to open in Windows, which sites were dangerous, which dialog boxes were traps (and how to close them without OK'ing an installation)? No way. I was cleaning his system every two weeks when he ran Windows.
I put him on Linux about 6 years ago, and now the only fixes I ever do for him are when he accidentally closes a subfolder tree and doesn't know how to open it back up. (Yes, just click the diamond, make it rotate and open). He sometimes accidentally turns off menu views in programs, so I have to turn them back on for him. But he is virus free, and he can go to any site, click any dialog, open any email, look at any video, and there's never any major repair as a consequence.
> For non-PC-saavy users, it is not. I accept it because it is the norm.
Same thing can be said for Windows if the non savvy user had it reinstall from scratch why do you think Geek Squad make money as well as computer stores, cause people even with windows don't know what to do.
I guarantee if you put non-PC-saavy used in front of Linux Mint Cinnamon they will have an easier experience in using it right away vs Windows 8 and 10.
As for desktop penetration you need to look at the rest of the world and not just North America. Linux on desktop is huge in Europe especially in countries like Germany where open source culture is much bigger and common.
@CarpentersEye - the only real problem with dualbooting is that Windows is a PITA when it hasn't "gotten love" recently.
If I haven't booted my Windows partition for more than 4-5 days, it takes 30-60 minutes of it thrashing disks before it's usable on the next bootup. Windows used to be better, but the Win10 installation on this laptop is horrendous - and frequently causes me to put off doing anything I might need Windows for because it's so painful.
As far as less computer-savvy people and Linux - my parents have switched half of their machines to Ubuntu without my help over the past few years and they require far less effort to keep running for them. The Windows machines routinely break in strange ways.
@JohnyP: "because there is no application to control your camera remote" -- of course there is. Get yourself darktable for complete digital photography workflow. Or Entangle, if remote capturing is all you need.
60hrs? Burn net-install CD from debian.org (or any other), start target PC from CD, select language, user name and network and then let it run. May take 2-3 hrs to download all packages, but then you have a good and stable linux.
1. Tweak your camera for optimal results including people portrait shots. The color palette you want, sharpening level etc. That way you JPEG is completely or mostly done. Some camera are better than others with pre settings and of course their abilities. Ironically the POS cams (tiny sensor) need help the most.
2. But you always shoot RAW+JEPG and *if* you need any 16bit adjustment RAW helpfulness (SMALL percentage, WB, DR etc..) then you run your Raw (by clicking it or selecting them) in ufraw (or other). But with the spartan yet powerful ufraw (before Gimp) you should already have it set up (once per new camera) to be almost exactly like your JPEG standard. ufraw does distortion correction, CA removal etc per lens automatically. All that's left is WB to preference and local contrast Raw latitude to taste and then you just hit the Gimp button (Install the transition applet from ufraw to Gimp once). For huge jobs ufraw has extensive batch processing available also.
3. Now you are in the Gimp. It took almost no time. What that means is you do *not* need to save any base corrected files; because as long as you have your unchanging Raw file it's bam and loaded into ufraw almost done. From there you can do any desired variations of the same photo and without any "catalog" of maintenance and backup to do. Just back up your Raw's as usually.
Now finally in Gimp you should know it has numerous plug-in additions and you should have selected all the ones you will ever use and have them installed with Gimp. It is a matter of clicking check boxed and Apply on open systems. This way you get free-dom (to you) upgrade daily also. Always up to date. But stay with the stable tiers if you are not a programmer.
The point is you could have simply selected the healing brush and knocked out blemishes and then moved on to more interesting and numerous automatic one click fixes to enhance a portrait in many ways.
I'd be more interested in the > Filters > GMIC > Film Emulation > Negitive (new) > Portra 400. And optionally tweaking that automatic process to taste (because every pic is different and starts from different places).
All that in no time.
I mean really there are so many automatic processes you could get lost in them and that is good choices. Why not have all this to try since it is completely free to you. Freedom; not subscriptions, not freeware or tricks or left out things; but included everything. Improvements everyday.
Note: The spartan ufraw does not wait for the powers that be; to include your camera. This is how: Simply go download the camera profile to match your camera and set ufraw to it; while you set everything else at defaults (to match your cam standard JPEG) and do the save once feature to lock-in all those camera defaults. Easy to do and alter ONCE per new camera.
Just go download it's ufraw camera profile first. No waiting. You can even download a sample Raw from a considered camera before you buy it and then edit that raw with ufraw and Gimp+ first. Get off the tread mill.
I have tested every photo edit program known to man and I have always been able to do any edit (look/process) ever known with ufraw and gimp + it's add ons and plug-ins. Even the brand name programs that match the cam brands. While I have a plethora of edit app options the Gimp it the kitchen sick and without the BS. Once you can do Gimp you can do anything.
You learn to get around Gimp ONCE and you are done.
@CarpentersEye - Unfortunately, ufraw isn't that well maintained these days. Something has been wacked with the exposure normalization for Sony cameras for years, and after spending 20+ hours digging through the source code to figure out where the issue was and never coming up with a reliable solution that worked for all Sonys, I just gave up and moved my entire workflow to darktable. ufraw is one of the few pieces of software *still maintained using cvs* - they haven't even bothered migrating to Subversion yet.
For years I used GIMP for raster (image editing) and Inkscape for vector graphics because they are both open source and free. I still use OpenOffice for opening my older .odt documents. GIMP is an excellent, fully featured raster graphics software application. For most purposes—as good as photoshop.
These days I have licensed copies of Adobe and Microsoft from my job, so I no longer have a pressing need for an open source alternative, but I like to stay abreast of developments in open source. There are many excellent graphic and photographic applications out there that are either free or open source, or shareware and not owned by monolithic software companies.
It's great for people starting out, before they are earning enough from their "pro" photography to justify pro software. Especially in the developing world, you can run this free software on a free operating system and get pro or close to pro results.
The whole concept of "pro results" is flawed--professional means has a paid profession to make and process photographs. I've seen plenty of professional photographs that have subjectively poor post-processing. You can get a bad result with good software if you're not good at editing, and you can have great results with basic software if you are good at editing (and the underlying images are already great and don't need much help).
The fact that once can have pro software for $10/mo is pretty mind-blowing. I imagine not everyone can afford that, and GIMP is a no-brainer for Linux users. But for students and aspiring professionals, the barrier to entry for access to the industry standard for professional software is incredibly low, and a fantastic investment.
The installation comments are old news. I (re) installed Ubuntu (whatever the stable version is) last Summer alongside of existing Windows 10. No problems whatoever. It's not the Holy Grail; no OS is, but it's stable, fast, and a great alternative to Windows in some cases.
