GIMP – raster graphics and photomontage development (GIMP)

Graphics, 2D Graphics

GIMP is a Free & Open Source raster editor available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It is a central tool in the open graphics ecosystem, commonly paired with Inkscape, Krita and Blender, and extended by plugins for print, web, animation and 3D textures.

This training covers raster workflows in GIMP, from basic editing to advanced color work, retouching, automation and non-destructive techniques. It explains requirements for print, web, 3D and VR workflows and aligns practice with professional quality standards and interoperability.
