Are free tools bad

[Dilip]

Have you tried skipping free tools and using free tools as your first option? What was your feeling? Is it good enough for your needs?

I personally believe that beginners should try tools that do not automate the tasks. Instead try tools that make you go through the basics.

Who ever considered free graphics design tools bad have no experience with using GIMP. There's nothing you can't do on GIMP. I'm not trying to discredit premium tools but there are so many good free tools which get job done 100%.

I love using free tools to design because it gave me all that I want. Free tool have been my first option and it's good enough for my needs.

Free tools can never been said to be bad. This is because they equally get the job done 100% perfect. For example, Canva and GIMP are free too but they can do any graphics jobs they work on decently.

I wouldn't say that using free tools is bad when it comes to graphics design. I have been known to use both GIMP and the free version of Canva a few times and have never had any issues or complaints after using these.

I believe what is important is your skill and creativity and not whether the tools you used were free or paid.
