It would be better if you first answer a question about your use of 
Photoshop. What features in the program are important to you in what you do? 
Are you generating images for a web site or for print media?

You can do (almost?) anything with GIMP that you can do with Photoshop but 
the ease with which you can do so will vary. If you need high bit depth GIMP 
is getting there but the support isn't fully there yet. If you need a colour 
managed work flow (ie. for print work), GIMP may or may not have what you 
need. I don't use GIMP to create images for print media so I can't give you 
any hard details on using it for print images.
