Community reviews for Gimp

While Gimp has a steep learning curve, it offers students a great free PS alternative they can even use at home. If kids do not have access to adobe application, Gimp is a great alternative and can encourage students to create more photography projects at home without the need for the computer lab.

It's a free tool with many capabilities that helps students to express themselves through artwork. Kids found that the software was very interesting to work with and inspired them to move way beyond the material (step by step guide) that was provided to them.

Many online tutorials available, and very advanced editing and creation tools are built in. Since not web based, the program needs downloaded and installed before it is functional. Takes a while to load, but waiting for it to start is the only cost.
