![]() ![]() ![]() Lack of GIMP support and tutorials – There are tutorials and excellent forums for GIMP users, yes, but not near the volume you'll find for Photoshop users, including professional Adobe support. Photoshop integrates with other Adobe products – From Acrobat to Illustrator, InDesign to Dreamweaver, Photoshop integrates seamlessly with other Adobe Creative Suite products. It's what's expected of professional firms. Photoshop is the industry standard – Photoshop is the most established photo editing software in the professional world. You learned on Photoshop – Most design classes use Photoshop once out of school, why learn a lesser-known software that does the same thing?Īdvanced features – GIMP can do more than most hobbyists would ever need, but Photoshop can still do more. Marketing – Adobe undoubtedly has a large marketing budget, which they put to good use. What I do wonder is, when the free GIMP is arguably every bit as powerful as the $700 Photoshop, why doesn't everyone just use GIMP? What's more, I have no problem whatsoever with open source – I'm also an enthusiast and have promoted GIMP in dozens of posts. Why doesn't everyone use it instead?įirst, I make no argument against GIMP as a world-class image editor. An offshoot, Gimpshop, features a user interface that mimics the appearance and terminology of Photoshop – and it's also free. GIMP is a free photo editing software often cited as the best open source image editing software on the planet. If GIMP is so good, why does everyone use Photoshop? It's a fair question, given the fact that GIMP is so often heralded by open source enthusiasts. ![]()
