In the past, I used GIMP. For several years, I've been using photoshop. I recently tried using GIMP again, and was frustrated because it didn't work the exact same way as photoshop. If you can get over that bias, GIMP will do what you need.
It's not unlike trying different window managers on a linux system. There are ones that feel very much like windows (gnome, KDE) and ones that feel very different (TWM, FVWM, GNUstep), but a little familiarization time with any of them will make that one start to feel intuitive. I know that if I spent more time with GIMP it would be as comfortable for me as photoshop is now.
