    GIMP is a more head-on Photoshop clone while Photoscape is more like a tool bundle for miscellaneous photo needs.

    GIMP is much more complex, more like Photoshop. Photoscape is very easy to use, even for absolute beginners.

    Too much! Bad interface, annoying, not at all an alternative to Photoscape! Photoscape is perfect and a reason to use Microsoft Windows.
