Yeah, it's technically just about as powerful as PS but ho-lee-crap is the UI/UX awful. I've been trying to learn it for probably 20 years and I still don't really get it, to the point that the $20 a month for the Evil Empire (plus a terabyte of storage, which isn't bad at all) is looking very useful.

A lot of people are very pleased with the jpegs that cameras kick out, never mind the raw files, and I am generally so impressed with what Nikon does, that I almost always need only the mac Preview app to get a great photo. (similar to seashore)

I use GIMP only to do some healing, and since I dabbled in oils when I was young, some airbrushing along with it.

Keeping things as simple as I can.
