Yes! I'm leaving Photoshop due to the expense. Gimp is a great alternative for free. Thank you.!

What if we wanted transparent background?

You know why I dislike? At the beginning of the videos you told us to make sure that the background is black but you didn't told us how to be black. None of the GIMP videos presented like shorter or longer learn us how to make sure the background must be black before we import a photo, or how to import the photo.

None of you! Is useless
