Sorry. gimp is crap compared to Photoshop. Gimp was on-par with Photoshop when it came out in the nineties. It hasn't improved much since.
That said, gimp is free. Adobe Creative Suite is over half a grand a year. For most people, knowing gimp is a useful life / workspace skill. Only the very elite will have access to Photoshop. Learning Adobe tools is simply not helpful for 98% of the population, as a life skill (beyond the general skills learned with any tool).
