To evaluate GIMP functionality we went through 8 user scenarios. However some of the scenarios required from us not just evaluating but more initial designing, because the functionality needed was not there.

User scenarios were described as :

  • Creating high quality photo realistic 1
  • Composing images from many fine photo pieces 2
  • Creating original art by collage 3
  • Designing icons with a help of vector programs 4
  • Elaborating an icon container 5
  • Creating elements for Web 6
  • Creating macros & scripts automating repetitive tasks 7
  • Batch processing 8
