Masking is not nearly as easy to apply. It’s very quick to get smooth edges in your mask in Photoshop.
Photoshop now has a built in AI (Beta Version) to generate backgrounds or add things to your image.
In GIMP, you can only use one artboard (canvas) at a time. Photoshop can have multiple within one file
Photoshop can link directly to illustrator and can handle vectors, not just rasterized images.
Most of the scaling and filtering tools just tend to work better in Photoshop
Smart objects are nice too (Photoshop only) - makes it so you can edit one object and change it across multiple artboards + other functionality.
And one of my biggest issues, GIMP can’t edit pictures in CMYK - it’s a big work around just to try and export your sRGB image to CMYK in GIMP, but your colors will change.
Literally the only thing I like GIMP over Photoshop for is that it’s easier to add gradients with a transparency

gimp is like Photoshop 3.0 or something it’s a piece of shit it’s super old and it sucks. there’s a lot of good foss image editing software and gimp isn’t it anymore

I feel like GIMP was a dev exercise where someone asked themselves how to make the UI and workflow as fucking shit as humanly possible and decided that was good enough.

it’s just a clone of a very old version of Photoshop that’s all
