Been after Photoshop for a while now on my laptop, but my friend told me about a good alternative earlier so thought its worth a shot as a free download.

 

I'm still getting to grips with it but first impressions and I reckon its better than photoshop, or at least the one I've got on my other computer (#7 I think?) loads more effects etc.

 

Ignore the name it isn't a stupid cheapo programme, but worth a look!

 

Its called GIMP 2.6 :punk:

 

I've used GIMP for ages but it still isnt a patch on the real deal. I use it in work actually because I wont risk putting my bent copy of CS5 on a work machine. Not that it would run on it anyway!

it seems ok. but not as versatile as photoshop but thats whey its free and photoshop is £££

Photo shop is the daddy for a reason mate, your not limited by the amount of effects you can use, as you can just go down load one for your version, you can use downloaded PS brushes and if used in the correct manor, you can come up with endless possibilities, plus the fact you can make animated gifs with PS as well, there really is nothing that program cant do in away, you can always add what you need to photo shop to get the job done, think of it like the iphone, PS is the phone, the add ons are on the app store.

alright calm down you lot I'm just grumpy as I havent got photoshop, but have a free alternative lol.

Another free one is paint.net
