You might want to try the 30-day trial from www.adobe.com. It's free and definitely almost as marvellous as the original version. Or you could try the GIMP as people have suggested. A few more alternatives are Helicon Filter, Adobe Photoshop Album (yes, it's free), openCanvas (which is way popular with Japanese artists; version 1 is free) etc. Helicon Filter - http://www.heliconphotosoft.com/heliconfilter GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/ Adobe Photoshop Album - http://www.adobe.com openCanvas - http://portalgraphics.net/en/ Corel PaintShop Pro is a good alternative, but it isn't freeware. It's price is comparitively less than Photoshop, though.
The Gimp. It does pretty much everything that Photoshop does and it's free. There are versions for Windows, Linux and MacOS. I use it and would recommend it to others.
u might want to download a free photoshop instead. Using a bittorrent client is the fastest, safest, and most reliable way to download real softwares with no viruses. Usually keygens, serial numbers or cracks are included to fully activate the software. A good bittorrent client such as "Azureus" will accomplish your download efficiently. Go here for Azureus: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=84122 Now a good torrent index site will help you locate the software of your choice. Here is a good site: http://thepiratebay.org/recent Simply type in "Photoshop" in the search area and several versions will appear. And if you have your bittorrent client (Azureus) set up properly, as soon as u click on "download torrent", your software should begin downloading automatically.
