I've been doing graphic design for over 20 years and I have always used GIMP for quick (and repeatable) work, especially when I was freelancing and didn't have the gold to stay current with Adobe products ($20 per month for current version of Photoshop, $50+ per month for Adobe Creative Cloud, unless a student).Main advice : grab yourself some version of Photoshop, and then you'll get hundreds of thousands of tutorials on pretty much everything, and the industry standard. Gimp is certainly better than Microsoft Paint, but it's like Linux : not many people use it, so you won't get as many tutorials for it.hey everyone , i started using GIMP 2 days ago so i'm kinda new to this here's something i just made , would love to hear your thoughts and get advice
From my experience, I'd rather use the current version of GIMP than an old standalone version of Photoshop (one that didn't require internet connection on a semi-regular basis to check on registration).
Also, searching "GIMP tutorial" for videos online comes up with over 1 million results. There are a ton of great tutorials out there. It's open-source and there are a ton of scripts and tools available to download for use to specialize your experience to your workflow.
