Both are image manipulation software that are widely used around the world by amateurs and professionals. Gimp and Photoshop are two types of software used in the process of improving or editing images, whether to change the image or distort, add items to it, and even save the image in other accessible formats. There is no clear difference between GIMP and Photoshop, because both are more or less the same in most ways. You can not say which one is more user friendly, as both seem to have the same characteristics, except that Photoshop is a software most common and are better known. In addition, Photoshop CS4 comes with standard and extended, where the basic version, all previous CS3 features, while the extended version has some advanced features like 3D rendering, which is perfect for those who use AutoCAD , Maya or Rhino software before.
In other words, Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended version is a suite of software ranging from image manipulation software, animation software [Flash] and 3D rendering software (CAD). Of course, the extended version will be more expensive to buy, but those who bought the basic version can update their software to the extended version for a reasonable price. Today, Adobe Photoshop CS3 is about $ 599 each, while the costs of CS4 is $ 699 and its expanded version sells for $ 999 each.
GIMP On the other hand, has been recently introduced. Well, not really new since it first made its debut in 1996, but most of the people, GIMP is almost unknown. What is a good Photoshop, GIMP, as well as everything? As for Linux, GIMP, is free and still need to improve day after day. Yes, GIMP is open source and free software can be downloaded for free from its website. Although initially the GIMP is built on the Linux operating system, but now it is a version or a patch that makes it useful for Windows and Macintosh [Apple] operating systems. Yet, because Photoshop is widely used and created its own format like.psd,. Pdf and so on, many organizations rely heavily on these formats and want to save projects in these forms, so Photoshop is the choice not to. GIMP can not save projects in these formats, because they are already patented by Adobe and can not be used for other programs. Not to worry, but GIMP can not save the format, the GIMP can not open or read files, but save it in other forms.
Photoshop is years and years of history sit thus increasing the integrity and credibility. Just look at the published versions of the previous version of CS4 when one until the new GMP when the stable version is 2.6.8. If the choice is made, the majority opts for Photoshop, but do not let the GIMP, try before you buy expensive. GIMP is free and does not hurt to try a dime, and the pilot. As noted above, even Photoshop can be saved as part of the PSD and PDF Though not as gimp, GIMP, you can still save projects as widely adopted in other formats gif, jpg or gif or png. What is the look, the GIMP and Photoshop seems almost the same thing. Features that the basic version of Photoshop is also available as an anti-GIMP, layers, brushes, image distortion, brightness, etc.
Those who hunt for quality should be aimed at the Photoshop, GIMP as a reduced bit depth of up to 8-bits is basically an unlikely choice for professional use. Photoshop is the first to the 64-bit, while others are still 32-bit version, which not only the first choice for professional use, but also that it is compatible with the new generation of computers. However, it is important to note that if adjustments are made in layers, limiting eight bit less obvious, because it leads to corrections that are stacked almost as good as Photoshop.
Gimp seems to disadvantage when compared with Photoshop, trivial things like the layout of the menu of most serious problems, like missing the fact that the function of color management and does not provide levels of control. If you want to improve the GIMP, the availability of extensions such as extensions, add-ons and plug-in allows you to add new functions, which are necessary for their specific needs. This makes it useful to the user of the GIMP, because they can use it, or reconfigured to suit different types of settings, making it easier. GIMP seems to grow a favorite, but an avid amateur photographers who want to use the software to improve their work while maintaining simplicity. GIMP manual allows the user to get the help they need with ease.
What does it mean that personal preferences will ultimately simple, skills and budget is the main problem in coming to choose the software.
