    I disagree with most of the negative comments because you can actually do image manipulation/photo editing as well, at least the basic stuff like auto contrast, color balance, saturation, blur, sharpness, image size, canvas size and so on.

    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.

    Gimp is an alternative to photoshop, not the other way round

    Photoshop is the default tool for design, but having a high learning curve and being a paid tool makes it difficult for those of us who only use it for small things.

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

    No way comparable to GIMP, much too simple in functions. It doesn't give as much options for editing images, as GIMP does.
