## What it is
GIMP-ML is a set of Python plugins that bring computer vision and deep learning models into the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). It provides AI-powered photo editing features such as image colorization, dehazing, deblurring, relighting, and DALL-E based text-to-image editing directly inside GIMP.

## Use cases
- colorize black and white photos in gimp
- deblur or dehaze images with ai
- edit images with text prompts using dalle
- outpaint or extend images with ai
- add machine learning filters to gimp
- relight or enhance photo exposure with deep learning

## When to choose
- you already use GIMP and want AI photo-editing features without switching tools
- you want open-source access to models like colorization, deblurring, and DALL-E inside an editor
- you are on Linux or macOS and comfortable setting up a Python environment

## When to avoid
- you need a polished, one-click commercial AI photo editor
- you cannot install Python/PyTorch dependencies or lack a suitable GPU
- you need Windows-first support or very recent stable releases
