Overview
GIMP (short for the GNU
Image Manipulation Program) is a free software
raster graphics editor
. It is primarily employed as an image retouching and editing tool.[3] In addition to free-form drawing, GIMP can accomplish essential image work-flow steps such as resizing, editing, and cropping photos, combining multiple images, and converting between different image formats. GIMP can also be used to create basic animated images in the GIF
format. At present, GIMP is usable for amateur or professional work with images intended for viewing on monitors and printing on ink-jet printers.
The product vision for GIMP is to become a high-end graphics application for the editing and creation of original images, icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface elements. One point in GIMP's product vision would see GIMP used for the development of cutting-edge image-processing algorithms.
Inkscape is a vector graphics
editor application. It is distributed under a free software license
, the GNU GPL
. Its stated goal is to become a powerful graphics tool while being fully compliant with the XML
, SVG
, and CSS
standards.
Blender is a free 3D graphics
application that can be used for modeling
, UV
unwrapping, texturing, rigging
, water and smoke simulations, skinning
, animating
, rendering
, particle
and other simulations
, non-linear editing
, compositing
, and creating interactive 3D applications, including video games, animated film, or visual effects.
Blender's features include advanced simulation tools such as rigid, realistic body, fluid, cloth and softbody dynamics, modifier-based modeling tools, powerful character animation tools, a node-based material and compositing system and Python
for embedded scripting.[3]
