Hi Dina Al Khatib,

Adobe Photoshop is Much Better than GIMP. You should Consider Adobe Photoshop.

this is the finest answer i ever seen to that question  :  GIMP is free, Photoshop runs between700-1000 dollars. 

And you can use GIMP for your bebo skins. But, Photoshop is a better program. Thing is, it should be. For that price...you're asking "What's better? A Miata or a Ferrari? And will they both take me to work across town?" Yes, they will both work....the difference is that if you're buying Photoshop, you should be doing so with a very clear reason (to use it professionally, far beyond the scope of Bebo skins)

GIMP is excellent, of course it works!!! It can do99% of the same stuff photoshop can do. Just make sure you download it only from the links provided at the official website: http://www.gimp.org The major difference between GIMP and Photoshop is that Photoshop can edit images with higher bit depths than GIMP. If you have no idea what bit depths are, then you are unlikely to need this feature. Plus there are ways to get round this with GIMP by using other third party plug-ins in any case.

I agree with Mohammed. 

If yo are asking if what is better in these two creative software, my answer is, Photoshop, even though i did not able to use GIMP for at my age, mostly Photoshop is the software that where using by creative professionals.. but upon searching what is GIMP, i automatically concluded that the Photoshop is far better than the GIMP. Freeware and not free will be the first thing to be curious of.

comparing free software to a mammoth and costly one is, obviously, unfair.
