Introduction

Gimel Studio can be used to edit photographs, post-process and/or composite images, generate texture maps for 3D or just for experimenting with your own image processing via scripting a custom node in Python.

Gimel Studio aims to be simple enough for non-technical people to use, yet provide a powerful and streamlined experience for professional editing.

It currently has low-hardware requirements, supports many different file types and runs on Windows, Linux and MacOs systems.

Feature Highlights

Note

This applies to version v0.5.3 as the 0.6.x series is not yet ready for use and does not have these features yet.

Gimel Studio is currently in beta status and heavy development with more features and fixes to come!

At the moment, Gimel Studio already features:

  • Fully non-destructive editing, giving you the freedom to edit node properties and change the order of nodes at any time in a non-destructive workflow.

  • Comprehensive image previews, providing comprehensive image previews for each step of the process, allowing you to quickly see the effects of each node.

  • Integratation with Blender 3D via the free Blender Gimel Studio bridge addon for quicker post-render compositing.

  • Python API for scripting nodes built-in for scripting custom nodes with access to libraries like Scipy, Numpy and OpenCV.

  • 20+ built-in nodes for various editing tasks, from post-processing a photo to generating texture maps for use in 3D software from an image.

Gimel Studio also has rearrangable and resizable panels for customizing the main UI, a fully-featured Node Graph (with node deletion, duplication, selection) and more.
