Question about Gimp

Ok..so I'm out of town and without my usually computer, but still wanted to work on a few clothing designs. I normally use PSP9, however, the computer I'm using doesn't have the programs so I downloaded the free version of gimp. I'm just curious to know how closely related some of the features r to PSP and if there are any tutorials on how to use the programs as far as alpha channels and apparel design goes. I'd b grateful for any advice u guys could give me. Thnx
