To C.R.: I think your proposed change to the download page (adding"93 MB" just
above the download button for GIMP for Windows) is easy, simple, and clear. I
recommend it highly!
To Alex: What do I suggest you do about it? I thought that the features of
the latest version of Photoshop could be listed and tried, and any features
that anyone likes in any other programs, as well as original ideas, and that
GIMP could be presented so that even the relatively inexperienced (like me!)
could easily and quickly understand that those useful features are available,
what they are, and how to find and conveniently use them. I wasn't specific
because I certainly don't know everything about either well-known program!
I've found a 653-page GIMP user manual, which took forever to download on this
borrowed old Mac laptop. I was in too much of a hurry to read more than about
a page of it. I couldn't find a link that would allow me to copy and save the
manual file so I might be able to look at it later, after I have to return the
laptop and when I can't get an Internet connection. (Since the laptop got wet
(before I borrowed it), the screen and image files appear
in very startling and frequently changing colors! This makes it even more of
a challenge to get good results from image editing very quickly.)

We used to list the file size on the download buttons. Apparently the
feature didn't get added to the new web layout (which is much better than
our old one in almost every way possible) I'm sure it's just an oversight.

Where on the Adobe website does it list the features of Photoshop compared
to GIMP?
GIMP is not made to be competition with Photoshop, and conversely,
Photoshop is not made to be in competition with GIMP. They are both highly
sophisticated image editors, but they are different programs. They are
simply built for similar purposes.This is why you will not see a
feature-comparison done on either website.
Since you are new to both programs, I recommend GIMP. The time you would
spend learning Photoshop is about the same as the time it takes to learn
GIMP.
For your effort, get these advantages:
1. You get a software application that will dutifully serve your
photo-editing needs, for free, for both professional and hobbyist uses
without limitation.
2. You get free updates, and will never have to pay any money for GIMP.
3. You will never be bothered by license keys that run out, or other
software imposed DRM protection that gets in the way of your w
