Review of Gimp

Gimp is equivalent to Photoshop and iPhoto, a Mac photo editing program.

Initially, I got a warning message stating “Gimp can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the App Store and identified developers”. So I had to go into the Security & Privacy settings on my Mac and click “open anyway”, because Apple doesn’t like software from 3rd party developers.

After the initial install, Gimp is slow to open. 
It puts separate tool boxes on opposite sides of the screen, but I am able to move them wherever I want, or close them.
 The “tools” are similar, and work the same as in Photoshop and Gimp overall works similar to Photoshop.
 I can’t really tell much difference with the functions and tools since they are all similar, but the interface is a little different. The Photoshop interface is cleaner and more streamlined, but then I am already more familiar with it.

This blog is part of an assignment from American Military University for my "Web 2.0 Fundamentals" class where I am to download three different open source software’s and review/compare them with commonly used  comparable software.
