That is correct. I've never used Pixlr but I know in the case of gimp it was literally conceived as a free alternative to photoshop so it bites a whole lot of basic features and UI from them. It's a really good program for casual users who dont wanna pay from (or risk stealing) photoshop. You can see this guy's edges are entirely competent on this fark he made with Gimp. Basic stuff like that is fine in Gimp.
But photoshop is still the standard for this kind of thing. (Though I've actually started using sketch more for UI design but only because of the vector friendly canvases, icon libraries, shortcuts, etc. Photoshop is still goat for farking.) Also once you learn your way around in photoshop, I much prefer it to gimp in a lot of basic and shortcut related ways but that's more of a familiarity thing. Gimp is great because it's free. Photoshop costs money.

Then I clean up in GIMP, where I zoom down and cut/erase edges.
The refine edge tool in photoshop I was talking about would eliminate the need for you to ever do this btw, and the smart selection tool in photoshop is incredibly nuanced when compared to its counterpart in gimp as well. I honestly will probably never be able to wrap my head around how well they programmed that component of the program. You can really get precise with the thing.
Then you get into the content aware fills this baby can do, which can also come in handy when you're farking, editing out tv logos, unneeded objects, things in the way, etc. it's just an unbelievable piece of software these days. i've been using it since photoshop 3.0 and you guys don't even know how good you have it with a program like gimp. We used to have to steal all these 3rd party plugins and hope the crack worked just to get a lot of the basic features that are now built into the program. These days the shite is insanely sick.
