    Generally - photoshop is a very good tool, with a lot of staff inside. It's a quite good alternative if a pricing is not a question.

    Missing loads of features gimp has. Can’t make layers. Selection tools are basically nonexistent. Disappointing.

    At least with GIMP I can readily save my work anytime and be assured I can access it post-2020; with Sumo Paint, though I can blend better, it feels a little like I have to rush because, flash app (though there's a new plug-in-free version online now).
