Gimp and Photoshop are both photo/graphics-editing software, so, no...if you have Photoshop, there's no reason to download and install Gimp. That is, unless your skill level with Photoshop is too low to enable you to figure out how to translate the instructions.

Basically, you'll just need to first determine what is supposed to happen for each step, then figure out how that is done in Photoshop. Most of the differences are simply what the action is called and the name of the menu in which you find it.

[enjoy the glimpse of what life is like for Gimp users....in most cases, this problem is reversed....the instructions are for photoshop and we Gimpers have to do the translating ]

Lots of choices available at Tokyo.Girl, which similar to Dr. Life, specializes in this niche (I believe the owners are friends, and in fact, Tokyo.Girl was previously known as Natsu which itself started in order to make/sell shapes which went well with Dr. Life skins).
