Title: Surprisingly good program for the money.
Review: Wanted a simple program to edit photos. This really surprised me for a less expensive program.

Title: Disappointing Experience - Not Worth the Investment - YOU CAN GET IT FREE!!!
Review: **Review Title: Disappointing Experience - Not Worth the Investment**I recently purchased the GIMP Photo Editor 2024, which was marketed as a premium professional image editing software compatible with Adobe Photoshop Elements CC, CS6, CS5, and more. I had high expectations given the hype and the USB delivery option, but my experience has been less than satisfactory.Firstly, the installation process was a nightmare. It took me several attempts just to get the software installed on my Windows 11 machine. The instructions provided were unclear, leading to confusion and frustration. I found myself going back and forth, troubleshooting issues that shouldn't have existed in the first place.To make matters worse, after finally getting it installed, I discovered that GIMP is available for free through the Microsoft Store. This revelation left me feeling completely ripped off. Why pay for something that can be obtained at no cost? It felt like I was sold a package of pure disappointment.In terms of functionality, GIMP is an excellent photo editor; however, the way it's been marketed in this package is misleading. If you're going to go for GIMP, I highly recommend bypassing this USB version altogether and downloading it for free directly from the official source.In conclusion, I would not recommend the GIMP Photo Editor 2024 USB package. It was more hassle than it was worth and only left a bad taste in my mouth. Save your time and money—there are better ways to get access to fantastic image editing tools without the headache. Pure and simple: it was a pain in the A** to deal with and ultimately disappointing.

Title: Excellent, low cost alternative to PS
Review: Have not used it enough to give it five stars, but it appears to be a very capable alternative to Photoshop.NOTE: The USB supplied is somewhat tricky to "open" Be aware that the ribbed portion is hinged in the*middle" of the ribbed section, and the rest of the actual USB is tightly snapped into the rest of the plastic piece. I kept pressing the entire ribbed section until it broke totally free from the plastic square.The USB still worked, but you no longer have the square plastic piece to use as a "handle" ( for more leverage .. it does fit very tightly in the USB socket )

Title: A Great Deal.
Review: The dominant photo-editing software on the market is very good, but if you're looking for an equally useful open-sourced alternative package as backup, Gimp is it. Practice using it. Give it some time. For the cost, the risk is low.

Title: A Most Annoying piece of useless program.
Review: The program allows you to alter your photos, but DOES NOT offer a useful way to save the changes or print them. The crop feature is particularly USELESS , but even more so is the lack of indicating any way to save your work.

Title: Cannot access Instructions.
Review: Not intuitive. Could not get "Clone Tool" to work. Many features but neglecting on basics. Manual appeared as bunch of lines. Could not print multiple images on 1 sheet of paper. USB made of cardboard. Put your $20 elsewhere.
