According to multiple websites and reviews, the photo editing software "Gimp", which, from own personal experience, functions very similarly to "Photoshop". I would recommend trying out a free trial version of "Photoshop" and comparing it with "Gimp". How much does "Gimp" cost? It is absolutely 100% free of charge. This may possibly be one of the best deals on the internet.
One very good free alternative to Photoshop is Gimp. There is also Gimp Shop that is a Gimp that looks similar to Photoshop.
GIMP never expires. Once you download the program to your computer, you have it until you remove it. GIMP.org is constantly working on new version of the program however, so you might want to check the site every once in a while if you want the most up-to-date version.
On a photo-editing software. You can use Photoshop, Corel Painter, Gimp, Photfiltre, Photoscape. But the best two are Photoshop and Corel Painter. However you have to pay for those, if your not willing you can use Gimp, Photofiltre, and Photoscape which are free. Gimp is the best among the free one. I personally have Photoshop and Gimp. And you can learn how to make avi's and effects from tutorials.Hope this helped
