'GIMP ... eventually became a byword for offering a FOSS alternative to Photoshop even though the project pushes back against that description.'
One example of how GIMP goes beyond Photoshop is its integration of GEGL technology. This allows its filters and effects to work with pixels with more than 8 bits per component. Here <https://helpx.adobe.com/nz/photoshop/using/high-dynamic-range-images.html#features_that_support_32_bpc_hdr_images> is a list of Photoshop features that work with 32 bits per pixel component. For GIMP, the corresponding list is basically: * everything.
