Ultimately, every decision taken by our UI team is about realising the product vision. At the LGM 2006, peter sikking held a workshop with the GIMP team, and helped them to formulated their product vision:

−
* GIMP is Free Software;
 
−
* GIMP is a high-end photo manipulation application and supports creating original art from images;
 
−
* GIMP is a high-end application for producing icons, graphical elements of web pages and art for user interface elements;
 
−
* GIMP is a platform for programming cutting-edge image processing algorithms, by scientists and artists;
 
−
* GIMP is user-configurable to automate repetitive tasks;
 
−
* GIMP is easily user-extendable, by ‘one-click’ installation of plug-ins.
