Hello Dimitris!

As I rather know Photosgop (CS6) as good as GIMP, here my annotations:
Photoshop is an image manipulation program, GIMP is.
Photoshop can handle images in CMYK (work for 4-color-printing), GIMP, till
now, can´t.
Photoshop has an in-built program to make panoramic images from a number of
single shots, GIMP hasn´t.
Photoshop comes with an in-built RAW-converter, for GIMP you have to
install separate plug-ins to convert RAW images.
Photoshop offers a range of tools for non-destructive image editing like
layer settings, GIMP till now only offers layer masks.
Photoshop has some functions and assistants like aligning images for
retouche that GIMP hasn´t.
IMHO GIMP has more sophisticated transformation tools than Photoshop.
GIMP can handle more file formats than Photoshop.
You may program your own filters - skript-fus - for GIMP, but not for
Photoshop.
AFAIK you can load Photoshop brushes and patterns into GIMP.
Besides these differences, the tools and functions of GIMP are similar to
those of Photoshop, you can do the same work in GIMP as in Photoshop, even
ith a similar workflow..
IMHO the handling of the tools and functions, the workspace of Photoshop is
a bit more intuitive and handsome than that of GIMP.

Klaus Gölker
