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.
Licensing:
This app is released under the GPLv3. The source code can be found here:
https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/gimp
The icon, Wilber, the GIMP mascot, comes from a vector image source (SVG) made available by Jakub Steiner, available as Creative Commons by-sa 3.0.
This app is not created by the main GIMP development team. Instead it is an adaptation that allows the Linux version to run on Android.
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.

Definitely needs to be optimized for mobile. The "app" doesn't fit the screen properly. This causes a need to zoom as far in and swipe around your screen to different sections of the program. You are unable to select many tools as the touch input does not recognize the selection, despite the cursor showing on it. Would love to see it in a few updates working properly.

Barely usable on a phone, don't bother! It's just the PC version of the software with some very minor tweaks. It is not at all optimised for touch screen use. Although you get all the functionality of the PC software, it also tries to use the same layout which just doesn't work for a mobile device unless you have a mouse and keyboard to work with it.

not quite there yet. 3/5. this appears to be running inside a emulator or a wrapper. there is a 'x' mouse object that behaves like your are in a teamviewer session. tap-hold and grag to move the screen around double-tap-hold to lasso multiple things, tap-tap to simulate a mouse click. on a phone you will not get much done because the preview window will be not large enough or then too large when zoomed to get a serious work done.. on a 10 inch tablet this might work better..

So much potential, but so painful to run right now. I can't see ANYTHING it's so tiny. To combat this, I plugged my phone into my drawing tablet (compatible via Samsung DEX) and somehow that was worse! Everything was still small, but it was now off to one side of my tablet screen, and still in portrait orientation (as compared to landscape orientation whilst being enlarged to fit the screen). Prior to this experience, I spent a whole day troubleshooting errors just to get the app to even work.

This is a poorly ported copy directly from the desktop version, and is not user friendly for a tablet. It doesn't size itself to your device, you have to fiddle with it to try to get the interface to be readable. It's default settings are tiny and nearly unreadable. When you do finally find a semi-workable size, half of the icons at the bottom of the screen are cut off so you can't see what you're clicking on.

Incredibly mixed feelings. This is ACTUAL gimp so it does more than any other mobile photo editor... But again; it's... ACTUAL gimp. Like they copy pasted the program. ZERO optimization for mobile, so even though it does everything it's awkward and difficult to use at best, and basically impossible to use at worst. If you are on a tablet with a huge screen and a stylus? Go for it. Under normal circumstances tho, I can't recommend it without adjustments for it to be usable on mobile.

Unfortunately, this app is completely unusable for me. The controls are really bad. First, I cannot see them enough to use them unless I zoom in and out. I'd be willing to do that but I simply can't draw in this app. If I make a long stroke it starts trying to pan the screen and all I get is a big mess. There are also tool popups constantly in my way. The program itself is good, I've used it on PC, but it needs an interface overhaul to work on mobile.

This is not app friendly. Not samsung note friendly. God every time I tried to zoom in, it would zoom in the wrong areas, make lines, layers are wrong. If you're using this for photo editing, I'm sure it's amazing, but I'm using this to draw and edit and believe me, I'd rather haul my desktop around and a wacom tablet because i truely feel like it is easier than trying to use the app. This could be better on a tablet, but I don't own a tablet.
