About this app

This really is GIMP, the amazingly capable GNU Image Manipulation Program, running on your device. It is full featured and professionally supported.

Features of GIMP:
GIMP has too many feature to list here. Please checkout the GIMP site: https://www.gimp.org/about/introduction.html
The short version of this, is that it has everything you would want from a professional photo and image editing and authoring program.

How to use this GIMP Android app:

Use it just like normal. But here are some specifics to the Android interface.
* Tap with one figure to left click.
* Move mouse by sliding around one finger.
* Pinch to zoom.
* Press and hold and then slide one finger to pan (useful when zoomed in).
* Slide two fingers up and down to scroll.
* If you want to bring up a keyboard, tap on the screen to get a set of icons to appear and then click the keyboard icon.
* If you want to do the equivalent to a right click, tap with two fingers.
* If you want to change the desktop scaling, find the service android notification and click the settings. You have to stop and restart the app after changing this settings for it to take effect.
This is all easier to do on a tablet and with a stylus, but it can be done on a phone or using your finger as well.

To access files from the rest of Android, there are many useful links in your home directory (/home/userland) to places like your Documents, Pictures, etc. No need to import or export files.

If you don't want to, or cannot pay the cost of this app, you can run GIMP via the UserLAnd app.

Ratings and reviews

just a few suggestions: first fix UI scaling so we can read it. second it would make the app so much more workable if you took the toolbox, tool properties, image layers, and image properties sections, and sectioned them off into full screen displays that toggle with a button press, it would allow for a bigger workspace while preventing accidental changes to various settings. gimp is amazing and has done a lot for me on pc and I hope it can do the same mobile but it just needs a few UI touches.

User UNfriendly. Can't even open local images. Sorry that I paid for it. *EDIT: To get permissions fixed, I had to force close the app, clear cache and clear data. Reopen the app, allow all to download again and open the app. After open went to Open and navigated to the directory then it FINALLY prompted to allow for permissions. Convoluted but doable.

thank you for fixing the opening files bug but id found an few over bugs, can't save new files and can't export files, loading up files to edit takes long to render in files to open, and there an bug where the whole thab bar and input would be cut out of reach and you can't zoom in or out of it all i can say for an example it is like rindering an 1080p only veiw on an 720p monitor where 360 pixel are missing out of veiw?

What’s new

Make it so you can access Android files again.
From inside GIMP, you can browse to /sdcard to see all of the directories you can access (like Pictures or Documents).
When you access a new directory, you will be asked to grant permissions.
After that you can use files from that directory.
Listing the files in a directory is a bit slow right now, but that will be fixed.
