GIMP is not PhotoShop

The GIMP is not PhotoShop.

PhotoShop is not the GIMP.

...Nor is the GIMP PaintShop Pro....

These three packages do similar things differently.

I haven't used Paintshop Pro for years and I rarely use PhotoShop.

I find it easier to be accurate in the GIMP.

When I lay out a web design I work in pixels. I use grids, guides and snap to's as well as layers.

All these things are available in PhotoShop too but the GIMP is free and I have come to rely on it as my default graphics package. So I am familiar with it.

The GIMP provides jpg, png, ico and gif support as well as coping with tiff, raw and psd files. With the GIMP I can read or write these file formats just by choosing the right file extension.
