Gimp
 

I don't know why the Photoshop 7 string was closed, but my answer is forget Photoshop and try GIMP. If you do not know, GIMP is a photo editor which is very powerful. Photoshop has a few features GIMP does not, but GIMP is FREE!!!!!!!!!!

Check it out at:
GIMP Homepage

I think it was closed because "beta copy" = warez in this case.

Anyway I agree with you. The GIMP is a powerful graphics program. :up:

Gimp is ok if you cant afford Photoshop or PSP.Unfortunatley it dosent come close to either of them as far as features are concerned.
I've tried it before and its decent.

All the features may not be there, but you can either write a plugin that adds that feature or find a plugin that adds that feature. There are very few feature that you actually cannot dupplicate somehow, and I doubt you use those very often.

Unfortunatley Eye candy 3,4000 doesnt work with Gimp.:(

Gimp is a mid level image editor.
