I don’t know. With the exception of a single feature, I’ve found photoshop better to use than GIMP. The one feature exception is GIMP’s wonderful “color to alpha” feature, and I always keep a gimp install around just for it.

Photoshop just seems easier to use, and more robust? With nicer effects, better filters, etc etc? At least for the features I tend to use. I’m not a professional by any means, but I tweak and composite and blend images a fair bit for my various hobbies (mostly ttrpgs).

Gimp is shit, from what I've heard krita is the Photoshop alternative, although I've used neither (big time mspainter here)

GIMP is honestly a lot better than it used to be, especially with the g'mic plugin, which is insanely powerful.

For Photoshop users, there's also photogimp, which makes gimp have a Photoshop layout and keyboard shortcuts.

Though personally I use krita most of the time, which has g'mic built in nowadays.

I've used all three products and I prefer Gimp. My wife prefers Krita. It's great to have choices.

I'm not against choice, don't know where you got that from. Personally I also use gimp

Never heard of krita, I’ll have to check it out.
