Although GIMP is a free editing app, GIMP is worth pairing with other professional software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and more. All the features of professional editing software like Adobe photoshop, owned by GIMP. And after using it for several weeks, I think GIMP is quite satisfying to meet the needs of my photography hobby.

On this occasion I will share the tutorial "How To Make Polar Panorama With GIMP". Polar panorama is one of the photo effects that we may have seen and used in making a photo interesting. With a panoramic Polar effect, we can create a unique little planet, can create a beautiful panorama.
