Where GIMP fits
Choose it for hands-on image editing where an open-source application suits the workflow.
Check before you choose
Test important file exchanges with your collaborators before depending on a particular layered format.
Find the right edition
Start with the destination for your device or the publisher's website. Use the current requirements and terms there to confirm the edition you need.
Compare the workflow
The right workflow starts with the type of asset you need. RAW development, vector illustration, layered image editing and 3D modeling each have different file and hardware requirements.
