3127 Like GIMP Good alternative? YES NO GIMP is a free program for such photo retouching, image composition and image authoring. Essentially it's the closest thing to Photoshop you can get for free. Free Open Source Mac Windows Linux BSD PortableApps.com Haiku AmigaOS Xfce Layer manipulation Layers support Batch image manipulation Color to Alpha Customizable Extensible by Plugins/Extensions ... Fast & easy setup Keyframe animation Photo effects Retouch photos Open PSD files Scripting support Symmetry brush Add a feature Whereas Paint.NET is a very simple and user friendly program that's easy to use, GIMP is incredibly unforgiving, difficult to learn/use and lacking the welcoming and uncomplicated interface of Paint.NET. Moreover it has functions that just completely stop working for no reason Guest • Dec 2016 • 30 agrees and 3 disagrees Disagree Agree GIMP is full of features that aren't needed by 99% of people and very complicated. Guest • Jan 2017 • 27 agrees and 1 disagrees Disagree Agree Paint.net is a very easy to use program for basic editing of images, while Gimp is a very complicated tool for doing lots of complex stuff with images so kind of very different target groups I would say Guest • May 2017 • 15 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree GIMP is really complicated and not a real alternative. It has way more than nedeed for most of the users. Paint.NET is really simple to use and has just enough functionality to be useful for an advanced (but not professional) user. Guest • Jul 2017 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree GIMP is a superb cross-platform (Win, Mac, Linux) alternative to Paint.NET because it's open source and has a huge range of functionality. It is less suited for those situations where you're seeking a very simple image editor, without fuss. But it's still cross-platform, which Paint.NET isn't. So it depends what "alternative" means to you. JohnFastman • Jan 2017 • 3 agrees and 8 disagrees Disagree Agree

Hardware Accelerated Layers support Non destructive editing Open PSD files Add a feature Very pricy advanced application compared to free paint.net Guest • Jan 2016 • 12 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree Actually, Paint.NET is supposed to be a free alternative to Adobe Photoshop. While Paint.NET is very powerful, Adobe Photoshop is the superior when it comes to editing. If you want nice free results, Paint.NET is your best bet. If you want amazing results and the best tools and are not afraid to drop in some money, Adobe Photoshop is a very great choice. Guest • Apr 2016 • 4 agrees and 2 disagrees Disagree Agree It is a great image and photo editor and it is probably the best one out there! The only problem is the price! A price of $120 for the photography plan or $240 for the full plan is too expensive in my opinion Guest • Oct 2017 Disagree Agree
