Clips are when you take a picture, cut the background out and just have the person, or whatever. Also, I agree with most of the people above, Gimp's userinterface is harder to work with than PS.
However, if you havent used either, it may not make a difference which program you choose.
I have done this with GIMP...it is pretty straightforward, but it is time consuming for more complicated paths.
