Default Graphic/photoshop
Hi all. Can anyone recommend a good cheap (free) graphics download? Photoshop or similar?

Thanks.

Liz,

Photoshop is a huge investment. I recommend Gimp which is comparable to PS but free. most of what is missing from Gimp isn't needed unless you are diving into some MAJOR design projects.

I design constantly and, although I LOVE Photoshop, I could easily work only in Gimp for it all.

Liz,

I agree with Christine that GIMP is a great alternative. Another is Paint.net which also has add on programs that will allow you more functionality in the program.

Now that I have Photoshop I would not give it up however both of these are great alternatives.
