photoshop alternative

[sgtmcd42]

I posted this in another thread, but it seems more appropriate here.

Another option... for those who don't want to spend the money (or steal/pirate) a copy of photoshop, there is a great alternative in the opensource community. 'The Gimp' is a very powerful image application. It is free, which is cool. I have used it for years. I am including a link to the windows version, since most of you are probably using windows.

Hope this helps.

No, I am not a graphics guy. I just use it for small stuff like resizing, small touch ups, etc. My son uses it to create animations for his video game he is writing. Pretty amazing stuff for a 12 year old.

I have photoshop, but for a freeware, VCW Vicman's Photo Editor from download.com is actually pretty close to the real thing.
