    Photoshop select tools are awesome back to like CS4. Magnetic Lasso and Quick Select are super powerful and let you chain other tools together, and I remember something about Photoshop having good feather select features as well. Not having that base in other software severely limits what you can do.

    Photoshop’s healing and clone stamp tools are also good at predicting what I want to fix or patch. If GIMP or other OSS editors have those features, they’d be in my toolbox for sure.

    Disclaimer, my old copy of photoshop was “gifted from a friend” so I’m not trying to shill them. I haven’t used GIMP in a few years, so maybe (hopefully) it’s better than it was back then
