What is the best free PhotoShop replacement?

Asked by iRemy_y (550points) November 3rd, 2009

I am looking into buying PhotoShop, but i really don’t want to spend $400 on CS4… I’m currently using something called paint.net and it works wonderfully, but it doest have much effects or tools. I’m running Vista on a laptop with a crappy graphics card, but a lot of RAM. anyone know other free programs that are better?

GIMP is pretty good.

I third GIMP. Pretty powerful piece of free software, very similar to Photoshop.

Fourth.

If Paint.net is not enough, GIMP is the choice.

I know of two different ones that are great and free!

http://www.sumopaint.com

and

http://www.splashup.com/

They are both free, you can upload / download to your computer and they both have some cool brushes and filters. SumoPaint is my preferred of the two because it has some unique filters built in.

Hope this helps :)
