Similarities between Adobe Photoshop & Gimp

[Filipo]

I use the gimp regularly, but I have had trouble finding a feature similar to the one in Photoshop. "Cutout" is a handy feature in Photoshop, but i can seem to find anything like it in the gimp. "Simplify path" is also alike. (in Photoshop)

Does anyone have any ideas to help?

If you could tell us what there things do, somebody might be able to help.

Just from the name, I'd guess you want something like masking.
