Yeah. Photoshop and Gimp are the same except that Photoshop has content aware fill.
and a zillion more features.
How long does it take for you to learn a zillion more features?
you don't have to learn every single one of them, but they're there if you need or want any of them, something a gimp user will not have.
Agreed, but there is a learning time.
it's not as long as you might think.
And it's so easy, that Scott Kelby makes a small fortune inteaching how to use it.
so what?
a lot of people make fortunes teaching a lot of things that are fairly easy to do. some people need handholding and others do not.
if you need tutorials, so be it. and there are better sources than kelby or marguilis. try bruce fraser, katrin eismann, martin evening or barry haynes.
Which of these would you particularly recommend?
