Longing to bin Photoshop? Rock-solid GIMP a major leap forward

Re: Tough Sell

I'm regularly tempted to buy one of the cheaper photoshop alternatives but the main cost of image editing programs is the investment in time required to learn them. It feels like a huge waste to spend time learning something like Affinity which for all I know could disappear next year. GIMP may be harder but at least you know you'll be able to use it for a while and equally importantly you know you won't end up with all your images stuck in a proprietory format when your licence runs out.
