To evaluate GIMP functionality we went through 8 user scenarios. We focused on functionality that would support users goals towards executing their daily tasks. However within some of the scenarios we have already thought about some initial design solutions, because functionality needed was not there.

User scenarios were described as :

  • Photo composing - composing images from many fine photo pieces 2
  • Creating original art - creating original art by collage of different images 3
