I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp.

Learn what makes Adobe Photoshop the industry-standard photo editing workspace and how it differs from open source editing tools like Gimp.
I expected ridiculous propaganda from Adobe, but they give absolutely no reasons why Photoshop is better than Gimp and list a bunch of things that Gimp can do too.
They only mention Gimp a few times at the top and they never mention it again after:
How is Photoshop different from Gimp?
They ask a question they literally never answer.
They could have lied, they could have stretched the truth, they could have brought up the paltry number of things Photoshop does that Gimp can't. They never do. They never say what Gimp can or can't do.
Like I said, I expected ridiculous propaganda. I didn't expect them to just pretend Gimp doesn't exist in their article about Gimp.

I have to admit that GIMP has me beat - I've taught myself plenty of progs (usually in a panic because I told the interviewer I could use it and therefore had to learn it real fast - that's how I learned Illustrator, CorelDRAW and QuarkXpress), but I just can't seem to get the hang of GIMP.
I'll agree with this. GIMP is the most user-unfriendly piece of photo editing software i've used to date. I can pick up video games like Shadow Empire and spend dozens of hours figuring out how it works but GIMP is a wall to me.
It's one of the things I've bounced off of many times, but each time I come back and give it another shot it gets a bit easier until one day I thought, hey this isn't as bad as I used to think. Not really a ringing endorsement, but I definitely don't hate it anymore. I would still rather do as much as I possibly can in Krita though.
I highly recommend the Affinity suite of problems (Photo, Designer, and Publisher). While they aren't free they are much cheaper than Adobe and they are only available for a one time fee.
suite of problems
Lol not sure if this is a joke or a typo
Lol, it's a typo but I'm not changing it, haha
It is a typo, affinity suite is a very good alternative
I agree, I bought them on sale a while back
I don't do photo editing (Gimp) or drawing (Krita) but I have followed many aggregated blogs such as Planet KDE, etc over the years.
I got the feeling that most people have a hard time moving or transiting to Gimp. I have seen some posts from people who love Gimp but they seem to be a miniority. On the other hand, I got the feeling the drawing community love Krita and think it's worth learning. Krita even shows up in unexpected places such as Godot tutorials on YouTube.
The other problem with Photoshop is that it now scans your projects.
