I found this while browsing a computer shopper magazine at work today. Its a free alternative to photoshop and I'm pretty impressed so far. http://gimp.org/ Maybe this will save some of you the $650. It lacks a few features, but nothing so major to mention as of yet.

 

I've been using gimp for a long time now. Take a while to get used to, even if you're a veteran photoshopper, but it does all the same stuff once you get used to it. I'm all about open source, so I fully reccomend at least trying it. I mean, hey, it's free... why not?

 

whos says you have to pay for photoshop [sm=noooo.gif]

 

then its for those that dont know how to or dont want to use torrents to bootleg photoshop..lol

 

Also: there is no Photoshop for Linux.
