[Help][Resolved] Deciding on Work Station

[JDBar]

I'd just shoot for Photoshop first. My philosophy is that you're better off just start learning how to use a hard program with more features than an easy program with less features.

Also a crucial tool that Photoshop has that GIMP doesn't: a decent free transform tool. (which is important if you want to mess with stuff like smoke, fire, etc.)
