I speaking in term of using it for painting and drawing purpose, it has everything that you need to get the job done nicely. (Photoshop has tons of unnecessary functions that I usually do not deal with when I create art so...) And it is FREE!!!Anyway, one of these days if I have some more time to get use to Gimp, I could possibly make the final sketch as good as what I could make in Photoshop.Enjoy!
