    Depends on what you're doing: Darktable and Rawtherapee (both excellent pieces of software, though each with their own approach to workflow)
    permit extensive editting of existing (typically photographic, though I suppose not necessarily) images. Gimp and Photoshop permit many of the
    same edits, but also provide tools for creating images from scratch.
    There's certainly overlap, but Darktable and Rawtherapee don't entirely replace Gimp (or Photoshop).

    Thanks for this clarification.

    I know gimp (a bit) and know it is a different beast than Darktable
    and Rawtherapee. I have no experience of Photoshop and just assumed
    it is a photo editing software. Now I know better.
