I want to echo what drum wrote. Gimp can do everything photoshop does, but in photoshop it’s so smooth, things feel like magic when you do them, its fluid, rarely popup windows, things update instantaneously as you write and drag sliders, the UI is not programmer art, etc.
After years of GIMP use when I obtained ps after just a few weeks I was hooked
