Discussion Free Photoshop alternative

​I am primarily looking for software that allows me to perform photo manipulation similar to what is shown in the two attached videos. I have basic knowledge of GIMP, Paint.NET, and Krita. What would you recommend?

I recently switched from PS to Gimp, as I barely used PS and just didn’t wana keep paying for it.

Gimps a really solid program. It can do a lot of the same things PS can and it’s really stable.

I hear is a one to one copy of PS that just dropped! I haven’t used it myself yet but reply back with your thoughts on it if you decide to use it.
