It's also open source and avaliable on Linux, OS X and Windows. + + +### Why Should I Switch To GIMP? + +- As I mentioned earlier it's FREE. The upgrades are also free! +- It uses a fraction of the space most other image editing software. This also means you a can have it running in the background and it won't slow down anything else you might be busy with! +- Also previously mentioned, it plays nicely with Mac/Windows/Unix. Particularly handy if you're collaborating with someone who uses a different operating system to you. +- It doesn't discriminate against your machine whether it's 8 years old or brand spanking new, you can rest assured GIMP will run without a hitch. +- Similarly to FreeCodeCamp's guides anyone can edit the core code or develop a Pugin. +- GIMP has batch processing capabilities through automated actions. If you're a photographer I'm sure the angels in your head just sang. +- You can open, edit and save Photoshop's native PSD file format in GIMP. Again, something super handy for collaborative work. +- If you're used to the layout of Photoshop you can easily replicate its look and feel (as well as keyboard shortcuts) in GIMP. + + +#### More Information + +- [GIMP] (https://www.gimp.org/) +- [Download GIMP] (https://www.gimp.org/downloads/) +- [GIMP Tutorials] (https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/) +- [GIMP Wiki] (http://wiki.gimp.org/) +- [GIMP FAQ] (https://www.gimp.org/docs/userfaq.html)
