The interface is now fairly simple, something which has drawn criticism in the past. This toolbar gives you all the most basic image editing options for easy access, and more options are accessible in the top drop down menus. Each image you open will pop up its own individual window, although there’s also a single-window mode, which makes managing all the floating windows a bit easier. When you open a photo, it’ll pop up in a single window with the GIMP toolbar and all its options in a separate window. From basic fixes like cropping and airbrushing, to more advanced things like creating gradients and nested layers, GIMP has almost anything you’d want in a photo editor. GIMP is the most comparable free alternative to Photoshop, because of its extensive and advanced editing options.
