Both Photoshop and GIMP support layers, It is easy to add a new layer and Minipulate it in photoshop. In GIMP I really need to look for it...

I think too many people are basing their comments on older versions of The GIMP. I'm using 2.2 and it's pretty good if you ask me. e.g. To add a layer click the Layer Menu then New Layer. If that's not intuitive I don't know what is.
