    I use it, and my friends as well. The only thing that stops them is that they used photoshop first.

    Definitely Photoshop. GIMP, while free and fast, doesn’t have the capabilities that Photoshop does. GIMP, for a small, free program, certainly packs a nice punch for those who do not have a graphics background. However, an in-depth range of Filters, Adjustments, Actions, and compatibility with the rest of the Adobe family are just a few bonuses in my opinion for Photoshop. Photoshop is incredibly, and amazingly, expansive… and for designers like myself who need to be able to do “anything”, it’s Photoshop all the way!
