A vote for The Gimp As the man said, very capable once you learn how to use it properly.

That's the biggest reason I still use Paint Shop Pro after 10+ years. I know how to use it, and I'd have a learning curve to deal with switching to Photoshop or anything else.

Well, I decided to go ahead and install what I already have. Last night Paintshop pro got added, and I just finished installing Photoshop...still have all my cool nifty neat filters to add in though.

I just don't have the time, or energy to learn a new program right now...too many other things I need to do first.

Thank you all for your suggestions, and comments

Good point. Guess also that's why I never seriously looked at anything else than The Gimp. I know it after using it for a long time. I really don't have any spare time to learn properly any other graphic suites.
