gimp's initially hard to use but if you learn it, it pays off well

I've basically been sold on the gimp/painting software thing but idk what the painting software is gonna be
I'm thinking clip studio paint but it sounds like it costs money
this'd be so much easier if they still sold PhotoShop for lifetime

csp is paid, tho there is a free version. not sure what kinds of specific restrictions there are outside of these
before i got csp, i used firealpaca, and it was pretty easy to work with, but krita seems like a more feature-packed environment. i have a friend that used to use medibang paint too, but i don't know anything about it aside from that it worked for them

from easy to hard: Paint.NET, Photoshop, GIMP
from least to most powerful: Paint.NET, GIMP, Photoshop
so basically paint.net is all around ez but not that powerful.
if you can overcome the steep learning curve of GIMP you'll find that, when it comes to image editing, it's just as capable as photoshop
for example, here's a "photoshop" i did using GIMP
GIMP doesn't make a very good software for drawing. It does okay, but you'll want to find specialized software for that. What makes photoshop so expensive and powerful is that it covers just about everything an artist needs. image processing, drawing, vectors, 3D modeling, and editing. GIMP is strictly an image editor and it does that well.

gimp is a free photoshop and is very useful in editing images or photos
