Both are image manipulation software widely used all over the globe both by amateurs and professionals alike. Gimp and Photoshop are both the type of software that used in the process of enhancement or editing of images either it involves changing the image or distort it, adding elements to it and even save the image in other available formats. There is no specific incompatibility in the middle of Gimp and Photoshop since both are more or less the same in most ways. One cannot say as to which one is more user amiable because both seem to have the same features except for the fact that Photoshop is the more widely used software and thus is better known. Plus, Photoshop Cs4 comes with basic and extended version where basic version have all former Cs3 features while extended version have some developed features like 3d rendering which is perfect for those who uses AutoCad, Maya or Rhino software before. Plainly put, Adobe Photoshop Cs4 extended version is like a software suite ranging from image manipulation software, animation software [Flash] and 3d rendering software (Cad). Of course, extended version will cost more to purchase it but those who bought the basic version can upgrade their software to extended version for a small fee. Currently, Adobe Photoshop Cs3 is about 9 each while Cs4 is costs at 9 and its extended version is sold at 9 each.
Gimp on the other hand is a newly introduced. Well, not authentically new since it first makes a debut on 1996 but for most people, Gimp is roughly unheard of. What good of Gimp when Photoshop already has it all? Like Linux, Gimp is free and still improving day by day. Yes, Gimp is free open source software and can be downloaded for free at its website. Though initially Gimp is built for Linux operating principles but now it has version or patch which makes it usable for Windows and Macintosh [Apple] operating systems. Still, since Photoshop is widely used and have created its own formats like.psd,.pdf and so on; most organizations rely heavily on these formats and want to save their projects in these formats hence Photoshop is the selection to be. Gimp can't save projects on these formats because they are already patented by Adobe and cannot be used by other software. Worry not, though Gimp can't save in those formats, Gimp is able to open or read those formats but have to save it in other formats.

Photoshop has years and years of history behinds it thus adding to its integrity and credibility. Just look at its versions released previously from version 1 to Cs4 while Gmp is till new where currently, its garage version is 2.6.8. If a selection is to be make, most will select Photoshop but please do give Gimp a try before buying a high-priced one. Gimp is free and it won't hurt a dime to try using it, and experiment it. As stated earlier, though Photoshop can save into psd and pdf formats while Gimp can't; Gimp can still save the projects into other widely use formats like gif, jpg or jpeg or even png. In terms of its appearance, Gimp and Photoshop looks roughly the same. The features which Photoshop basic versions have are also available in Gimp such as path, layers, brush, image distortions, radiance etc.
Those who hunt for quality should target the Photoshop software as Gimp has a bit-depth limitation at 8-bit manufacture it basically an unlikely selection for pro use. Photoshop is the first to have 64bit version while other are still in 32bit version manufacture it not only first selection for pro use, but also the fact that it is compatible with newer generation of computers. Having said that it is foremost to note that if adjustments are made in layers, the limitation of being 8-bit seems less obvious as it results in the stacking of corrections that are roughly as good as Photoshop.
Gimp also seems to have a disadvantage when compared to photoshop with trivial issues like its menu layout to more serious problems like the fact it lacks the color supervision feature and does not offer adjustment layers. If you would like to improve Gimp, the availabilities of plug-ins like extensions, add-ons as well as snap-ins allows one to add on features that are vital for their specific needs. This makes it an benefit for the Gimp user as they are able to use its modifiable or fluid nature to adapt to ones preferences manufacture it simple. Gimp seems to be rising as a beloved for avid but amateur photographers that want to use the software to improve their work while holding it simple. The Gimp manual allows the user to regain the help they need easily.
What it comes down to is simple as eventually personal preference, capabilities and budget is the main issue when arrival to select in the middle of the software.
