# gimp
seriously, gimp has a lot of nice photoshoppy stuff. Other than that, you could try typing "photoshop warez" into google. But of course, I'd never condone that... (=

# PhotoShop elements
Is about 60 quid retail, its a cut down Photoshop aimed at the digital camera/scanner market. They have left out the stuff that matters to pre-press boys and girls. I use it a lot and it has everything a casual user would need, including great stuff like the magnetic lasso, history palettes.

# doesnt do layers though does it...?
i downloaded that... i mean looked at the specs of the program - and that seemed to be the major thing that id miss. its good though i use PS6 and Painter6 and Aura2 occasionally.

# Yeah it does
Very much so, it really would be a non-starter without that. Its really focused on RGB work, but will import CMYK.

I'm looking to go to Painter 7 so it will be friends with my Mac OS 10.1 machines. Got to upgrade my Wacom's to USB ones though.. bah
