Photoshop is prolly easier, where you have to do less work. Like cropping out a background or something, they might have a quicker way to do it that's more complex to make, as in program.

Yea, I wish that there was an easier way to cut out an image that you want. It is very tedious to erase all of the things not necessary.

There are, if you have a render, but it still leaves a bit of micro work. There's also another method where you can outline them with like curved lines and stuff but I never cared for that method in particular. I haven't done them in a long time so there quite rusty, and it's a newer build of GIMP that I'm not familiar with quite yet. I'll see if I can't teach them to you later.

I think that we need to find a tutorial that goes over a lot of stuff on gimp. I'll check it out on youtube.
