We’ve come to love and be familiar with Photoshop as our main mode for photo editing especially for the task to remove image backgrounds. Real estate photography has always been reliant on this software and has grown to create a household name with it within the industry. The technique of background removal has time and time again proven to be one of the essential tools in real estate photography and editing. It allows photographers and realty editor alike to use objects in the photo and isolate them so they can be flexibly used in different images. One other such software that been making a name for itself is GIMP or also known as GNU Image Manipulation Program. GIMP is free to download and use for power users across platforms. There is no subscription fee as well as no hidden costs when updating the program. GIMP’s ability to remove image backgrounds come in a variety of ways. Photographers who are keen to take advantage of them will notice that some methods will be similar to that of Photoshop and some even unique to GIMP.
