3 Single row Marquee tool

4 Single coloumn marquee tool

-Draw a rectangle selection across the canvas from end to end where you want 
the 1px selection.

-In the rectangle select dialogue, scroll down to the "size" and enter "1" for 
the width or height

 

5 Polygonal lasso tool

-The default mode for the lasso tool in GIMP is polygon. Click and drag for 
mouse mode.

-Morover notice you can move points you have already put down simply by 
dragging them where you want them (better than Photoshop in this way).

 

6 Magenetic lasso tool

- Try the Scissors Select tool.

 

7 Quick Selection tool

- Try the Foreground Selection Tool

 

11 Perspective crop tool

- Select area to be cropped with lasso tool

- Image > Crop to Selection

- Use Perspective Tool to adjust

 

13 Color Sampler tool

- Windows > Dockable Dialogues > Colors

 

14 Ruler tool

- Try the Measure tool.

 

15 Spot healing brush tool

- Try the Heal Tool.

 

13 Patch tool

- Filters > Enhance > Heal Selection

 

14 Content aware move tool

- make selection

- Copy selection

- Filters > Enhance > Heal Selection

- Paste selection ... (I have no idea why you'd need a separate tool for this. 
;P)

 

15 Red Eye tool

- Filters > Enhance > Red Eye Removal

 

 

18 Color replacement tool

- Use "Select by Color Tool"

- Colors > Color Balance / Hue Saturation / Etc.

- Additionally: Colors > Map > Color Exchange

 

19 Mixer Brush tool

- GIMP will acquire brushes that include background color mixing in the 2.9/3.0 
release

- Check out Krita.org for an illustration program to rival Photoshop or Painter 
X

 

21 Pattern stamp tool

  - Select Clone tool

  - Scroll down in tool settings to "Source", and choose "pattern"

 

22 History Brush tool

  - Open another copy of your current working document from your last save point

  - select the Clone Tool

  - In your save point document, ctrl-click on the area to paint from

  - Switch back to your current document and paint as you like

 

23 Art History Brush tool

  - Not implemented, feel free. :)

  - Check out GMIC. It contains a wealth of interesting painting effects for 
GIMP.

 

25 Background eraser tool

  - Can be achieved with resynthesize as above, but if you must have it in an 
eraser tool form, feel free to implement. 

 

26 Magic eraser tool

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sgI8rCRLbQ

 

41 Vertical type tool

42 Horizontal type mask tool

43 Vertical type mask tool

  - Not implemented, these would be neat, but to be honest the Text tool needs 
a serious overhaul anyway.

  - Check out Inkscape.org for vertical text, and a much better and more 
versatile vector text system, and easy masks that don't need separate tools. 
Turn any text into a mask in two clicks.

  

44 Path selection tool

45 Direct Selection tool

  - Windows > Dockable Dialogues > Paths

  - Click on the first empty box beside your path to show it. It's now 
selectable with the Paths Tool.

  

46 Rectangle Tool

  - Feel free to impliment. This would be useful.

  - See Inkscape.org for a current solution that works great.

  

47 Rounded Rectangle tool

  - If you impliment this, please make it part of the rectangle tool. There is 
no point at all to having separate tools. :P

  - Inkscape.org again :) It's like Adobe Illustrator.

  

48 Ellipse tool

  - Feel free to impliment

49 Polygon tool

  - Paths tool already does this. I don't know why Adobe made a separate tool 
for this. It's unnecessary clutter. :)

 

50 Line tool

  - Paths tool... (hit b to end your line and start a new separate one)

   

51 Custom shape tool

  - Would be cool to see in GIMP

  - Check out the Polygon and Star Tool (Inkscape.org)

  

53 Rotate view tool

  - View > Rotate (also Ctrl + Shift + Middle Mouse Button)

  

58 Masking

  - Really? Gimp has more Masking options than t

Sounds good. :) As a professional graphic designer with 10+ years of
Photoshop experience, and 8+ years of GIMP experience, I can almost
guarantee that your staff's time would be better spent learning how to use
GIMP to do the work needed rather than try to achieve feature-parity with
Photoshop. GIMP will never have all the features of Photoshop, and
Photoshop will never have all the features of GIMP.

It is important to note that GIMP was not designed to be a copy of
Photoshop.
Although most features have a relative equivalent, GIMP is a different
program with different conventions and different graphics workflows.

I was able to switch my graphics workflow to GIMP + Inkscape + Scribus, and
extend it dramatically with Krita and Blender 3D.
All these programs are FOSS (Free software), and allow an incredible degree
of creative freedom I could only dream of before.


To use GIMP and other Free software in a professional workflow takes
outside-the-box thinking, and an adventurous spirit, as does learning any
new professional toolset.
For me, it required some patience, remembering that the effort I put into
learning to use Photoshop as a professional design tool would be needed
again in learning to use GIMP as a professional design tool.

In my case, the payoff of having a free and evolving graphics environment
that is cross-platform and free of proprietary license restrictions has
been tremendous.

Luckily, as you've seen there is a large community of people happy to help
get over any rough spots you encounter.
As a beneficiary of all the help in the community, it's my pleasure to give
the same.

Do let me know if you have more questions, and good luck to your team. :)

GIMP is an open source software project, which means you are free to modify it 
as you like and use it for any purpose in accordance with this license 
http://www.gimp.org/about/COPYING 

 

To modify GIMP, the easiest way is probably to download the source code 
repositories from git: 

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp

 

Other relevant developer information can be found here:

http://www.gimp.org/develop/

 

It might also be noted that GIMP is a very large and very complex program with 
a LOT of features. Before you invest the time to modify anything, it's probably 
a good idea to explore whether or not the changes you want to make are 
necessary for your project. Often you can achieve what you need with features 
that GIMP comes with, or by writing extensions rather than trying to change 
GIMP's core code.

 

If the features that you want are not present you can always suggest them to 
the community as well, some ideas are popular enough to make it into the 
project.

 

Welcome to the GIMP community, and good luck. :)

Good luck. :)

GIMP is free software - you have the freedom to make changes, or to
hire programmers to make changes.

Or you could tell us what sort of changes you need...

Strictly speaking this means I cant answer your questions and we can't
archive your email. Since these disclaimers have been shown to be at
best meaningless and at worse actively harmful these days most people
ignore them. It's best to turn them off when posting to public mailing
lists.
