Hey guys. Can Gimp do all the nice things that Photoshop can do?

Bazoukas:
I never used Photoshop but I have seen some REALY cool images made by it.

 Can GIMP's abilities be compared to Photoshop's?


Just curious.

voidmain:
Photoshop has some nice capabilities, so does The Gimp. But it takes quite a bit of experience and talent to make professional quality images on either of them. The Gimp would probably be considered to be a little harder to learn if you have zero experience with either of them.

Of course if you already have a lot of experience with Photoshop you might say The Gimp is very difficult to learn. However, the same arguments come out of long time Windows users trying out Linux for the first time.

Pantso:
I have to agree with VoidMain. Having used both I can say that Photoshop is a bit easier to get used to as a beginer compared to Gimp, which needs some time getting used to.

TheQuirk:
i can't get the hang of the gimp, so whenever I need to / want to make a graphic I have to reboot into windows.. oh well.

Calum:
i disagree. i found gimp easier and i got used to the basics of each at the same time. i would recommend gimp more to be honest. i found it more intuitive. Some of the stuff i was trying to do for weeks can be done with a couple of clicks in gimp.

Not to mention that GIMP is free. and it runs on linux as well as on windows. photoshop only runs on windows and macOS so if you are seriously considering it as an option then you are probably using windows, are you not? so why is this in the 'UNIX' section?

anyway, my vote is for the GIMP. however if you have used photoshop, you will possibly lose patience with GIMP depending on how eager you are to be pissed off with it. one of my mates still reckons that GIMP is not as good as photoshop and i think this is purely due to his familiarity with one and his unwillingness to give the other a fair go.

he still prefers windows 98 and internet explorer would you believe.
