WORKS FOR

Basic image editing as a free alternative to Adobe's suite, cropping and prettifying old photos

KEY INSIGHT

It's a powerful free editor for basic tasks, but its complex interface and lack of pro features make it unsuitable for advanced graphic design.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

Professional workflows requiring CMYK color support or advanced features like layer effects, users needing a stable, intuitive UI
