GIMP is preparing to unleash a revolutionary new update—a high-performance, modern UI powerhouse designed to dismantle Adobe’s stranglehold on the industry.

To deliver the final blow to subscription-based creative tools, GIMP desperately needs testers right now.

Just open the software and do random stuff.

  • Open different files

  • Use the text tool

  • Put an image in black and white

  • Convert files from one format to the other

I have used it to digitize and color drawings (i.e just take a picture of a pencil sketch and edit it).

If you zoom in, you can get pretty good detail, drawing just with a mouse.

That's a way different (and more well-suited) use-case because the edges are already there and you're just doing region selections and flood fills and whatnot. It's drawing the edges in the first place -- especially if they're geometric -- that GIMP isn't particularly good at.
