Best Answer

GIMP has been an incredible tool for me. I do freelance graphic design and I have found that GIMP sometimes fills in where even Adobe Photoshop can't!

The price alone rockets it to #1 in my book, but because it is available free for download, there is even more peer-to-peer support, download-able effects, scripts, brushes, patterns and loads of web tutorials. It's a community of people helping each other out in a way that I have found does not exist in the Photoshop community.

I have learned so much from my peers, including ways in which GIMP both matches and surpasses Photoshop.

I would say that you should absolutely give it a shot. After all, what have you got to lose?

As a side note, I think Photoshop works better for photo manipulation, but GIMP does a fantastic job of graphic creation and generation. It also holds its own when it comes to photo editing. For the price, however, the slight disadvantages in photo manipulation are well worth it.

Good luck! Oh, and stick with it. You may not warm up to it at first, but it will grow on you.
