Two bitmap based software
There are countless bitmap software, but we are going to talk about two bitmap softwares
and they are the following:
GIMP
GIMP is not as good as Adobe, but it will do the trick especially if you are a beginner in the
graphics field. But GIMP includes a unique support for input devices out of the box, and it
also offers a free trial for you to know if graphics design is for you. It can also open up as a
layer. GIMP will grow, but Adobe is on the lead at the moment. GIMP is limited because it
only manipulates 8 bit images, which will be an advantage for Adobe animate which can
manipulate 8,16 and 32 bit images.
Adobe fireworks
Adobe fireworks is used to create interactive websites and a bit more, but it has more
features and tools than GIMP. What makes Adobe fireworks special is that it can edit vector
and bitmap graphics and also it has the ability to export mockup in pdf format. Adobe is
limited because it is not user friendly and it also requires you 1 GB ram which can be a
problem for students and small businesses.
