go with krita if you go the freetard route for raster editor, it more closely resembles photoshop, it has a good feature coverage, from my experience

gimp always felt like unpolished jank with unconventional ui structure

photoshop if you want to actually work professionally in conjunction with other adobe software (illustrator, after effects etc)

I only used 'imp because I was too dumb to figure out how to pirate 'shop. And at this point, I've been using 'imp for so long that there's no reason for me to switch

I taught was bad but if you have the patience to dig trough it you notice its the same or better than PS. And is fucking free and open source...

Not better, but on par with Photoshop nowadays. Has everything I need and more, even animation tools (GIMP is maintained by an animator nowadays)

It's a competent clone of Photoshop as it existed 20 years ago

Gimp has improved quite a bit, but every other image editor is as good or better. Plus, you don't have to deal with the oddities present in Gimp.

Gimp is good for what it is, but at the end of the day, just pirate PS. It's simply more robust

I genuinely cannot fucking stand using GIMP despite learning with it, it's just such a piece of shit.

Try Krita, it's also free like GIMP and IMO more of a full-blown replacement for PS

Not even.
PS has had full integrated CMYK support since like 1991 (34 years)
Gimp still doesn't lmaooo

Gimp 3.0 is stunning

Users now have access to non-destructive layers, more extensive support for RGB color spaces, and dozens of improvements.

But we are just getting started. Gimp 3.1.4 development version was recently released.

https://www.gimp.org/news/2025/09/01/gimp-3-1-4-released/#text-tool

(Note that a development release is not ready for production use. It might crash. If it didn’t have problems it would be 3.2 already)

Before the end of the year, GIMP 3.2 will be officially released. It will include vector lawyers, significantly better text support, and many interface improvements.

Gimp is about to punch Adobe in the face

Before 2026, Gimp 3.2 will be released.

We in the community are working hard to make it better. You will be shocked by what Gimp is now capable of doing. Stay tuned.
