Guess it is like a comparison between Blender and Max...Photoshop is certainly industry standard.. yes Gimp is free..to us!...Do we need all the Photoshop features that Gimp not has and how often?

Hmm..Maybe for a startup or a freelancer (in the first 1-2 years) Gimp will do...

My online store says that Photoshop 6 cost 1.200 USD, Max2014 plain 6.200 and Vray for Max goes for 1.560 USD.

It has to be better for that price!

Either way, Photoshop can be purchased on the cloud for $20 a month. If you are working and need it, $20 is hardly overhead, but if you are not working and don't need it, don't pay or it.

 

BTW, Adobe seems to be running a special on PS along with Lightroom and Bridge for $10 a month with an annual commitment. The photography program: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/buying-guide.html

 

I don't feel as though these prices are worth debating. get the best tool for the job. I believe it is PS. If you don't then go with GIMP.

You are most right, but some others country like under develop and developing country they are using photoshop illegally or free. They don't have to pay actually for photoshop application.

I'm not sure what you mean by this.... you are in the US and using something illegally was never part of the discussion. Having one version over the other (legal or illegal) is up to you... Legal will at least keep you up to date and should you need additional plugins they go a lot smoother when your version is above board.
