Tell me, when you print a webpage, do you convert it to CMYK? No! but your webpage is well printed although it has the color profile of your monitor -> RGB/sRGB. Try, you will be surprised as it does a good job. That means if you print an image from GIMP without converting it to CMYK colour profile first, it will look really bad.

There are a lot of math, science and theories behind RGB to CMYK, icc device profile to printer color space. Unless you have a manufacture printing millions of carton every day for your favorite hot/cold drink, toilet paper or cereals' boxes and need colors separations (to save ink for example) or being a logo designer for a printing company, I think that I can safely tell that this pseudo "argument" is quite irrelevant nowadays for 99% of the planet.

So to answer your most important question GIMP can open your PSD, you can use your preferred Photoshop's brushes in GIMP (80% of the time photoshop's brushes work in GIMP). In the end, it seems you are not a master of Photoshop either (you don't know what is GFX nor Degrade), which means that every project you did in Photoshop was using these "general standard tools" that you will find in GIMP as well.
Gimp vs photoshop software#
What you do in one software will have a different workflow in the other one.īoth software are excellent and you will never use them at 100%, ever!īy the way, if any doubts, NASA and JPL use GIMP for their orbital telescope and other radar in space or what so ever imaging from space. If you remember that GIMP is NOT Photoshop, and Photoshop is NOT GIMP, everything will be fine. It's not perfect, though, but the job can be done.Ģ) On the over hand you will go a lot faster and it's easier to create different type of planets and star field in GIMP than in Photoshop (just an example), as GIMP has at least 3 different type of true "sphere" tools with light effect, and Photoshop has just a simulated "spherize" which is more on a lens effect than a sphere, unless you use the Photoshop's 3D menu -> (did you ever use it?).

On both side, those "arguments" do not make ANY sense!ġ) GIMP has few limitations compared to Photoshop, for instance it has no mesh tool like in Photoshop or Krita, but this tool can be over come with G'MIC () or other plugins, or even with some GIMP filters like the "Curves Bend.".

I did a quick search about GFX, it seems to be the Photoshop's engine for filters and others effects(I might be wrong, though), you can safely say that Photoshop does not have GEGL, but GIMP has it.

" Degrade and GFX ( I don't know what they are really) in Photoshop is not in Gimp and they are important.Īre they really important and Is Gimp good much like Photoshop?īe careful about fan boys/girls pseudo arguments (both side), and this is a pseudo argument!
