GIMP development stagnated for a few years, but with more recent development GIMP has made strides to become more modernized and easy to use. Simple searches will yield basic start-up tutorials as well as advanced tutorials for more complicated tasks. Also, documentation and tutorials are plentiful for GIMP, as the community for this program is very passionate. So long as there are people passionate about the project, development will continue. Having many decentralized developers means that many improvements such as features and bug-fixes happen quickly.
On top of serving GIMP for free, the code freely available for viewing and modification. There are many benefits to being free open source software. GIMP is an image manipulation program in the same vein as Adobe Photoshop, with many of the same features and tools to allow you to get very similar results to its more professional counterparts.
While capable, investing in more user-friendly and functional software would be better overall. We argue that color tools should allow users to interact with colors, not just pick or sample them.For business applications, it's hard to recommend GIMP for any serious work. We designed novel color interaction tools inspired by the design space, and used them as probes to identify specific design requirements, including: interactive palettes for sampling colors and exploring relationships color composites for blending and decomposing colors with other elements interactive histories to enable reuse of previous color choices and providing color as a way to reveal underlying processes. We found similar color manipulation requirements with scientists and engineers. Based on contextual interviews with artists and designers, we created the Color Portraits design space to characterize five key color manipulation activities: sampling and tweaking individual colors, manipulating color relationships, combining colors with other elements, revisiting previous color choices, and revealing a design process through color. Although ubiquitous, color pickers have remained largely unchanged for 25 years.
