@conno02 hot take: people saying GIMP is the Alternative to Photoshop without saying its UX it's the most unusable ever. Even Krita or Affinity Photo/Designer have better user interfaces than GIMP.

@conno02 if it works for you, go for it LOL

I find GIMP so difficult to use, but I can't justify the expense of Photoshop for hobbyist use so I'm keeping at it. I wish there was something that at least had a similar UI. So many easy tasks in PS are crazy complicated in GIMP.

@stardom8048 @penalbatoday
Did you try Photopea yet? https://www.photopea.com/

Similar experience, but free (and online)

@stardom8048 i have tried Affinitity programs (one time fee to buy forever) and I have used them everyday.

I use Krita almost exclusively, but gimp is a lot more usable with photogimp.
