Adobe Photoshop Vs. GIMP. This is the real challenge of photo editing.

Do you know the differences between these two top-rated programs? If you ask someone to name a photo editor, Photoshop is likely the name you will hear.

The power of this image manipulation software from Adobe is such that not only has it become an industry-standard tool, but it has become a verb.

But anyone who works in the photographic and photo retouching industry knows of the existence of GIMP.

Would you use open source Gimp or proprietary Photoshop software to do a photo editing job?

For years the discussion is sufficiently heated, often based on rumor, and with little scientific basis is decreed better one software against the other.

Before considering the differences between the two programs, let’s go through the history of the two software and their strengths and weaknesses.

Adobe Photoshop, developed and distributed by Adobe, was born in 1990 to simplify and facilitate photographers in their work.

Since the beginning, the vocation of this program was and is professional.

Available for Mac and Windows systems, it can process images by breaking them down into layers and allowing the application of processing filters.

You can safely say that this software is used in all professional environments where graphic content development is required.

It’s quite difficult to summarize all the features in Photoshop without writing a book about it, but you can understand how it works in general and some of its most exciting tools.

Photoshop works directly on image pixels, so it isn’t a completely “non-destructive” editor that lets you rewind changes at any time.

Using its layer system intelligently, you can go back if necessary, but only at the cost of large image files in the proprietary PSD file format.

The layers are the backbone of Photoshop’s capabilities.

You can use non-destructive ‘adjustment layers’ to change the appearance of the image without changing the underlying pixels (so it can be non-destructive in this respect).

But you can also combine image layers to produce sophisticated montages created from two or more images and blended with layer masks and blend modes.

GIMP was born within the University of Berkeley, and in 1997…
