What is the closest thing to photoshop thats free? I like photography and I want to edit photos. You know, like add things to them and everything. I dont wwant to buy photoshop because thats wayyyy to expensive. Is there anything thats free thats close to it? I want to be able to like add text, and edit pictures.

that is the problem man
there is nothing "close" that is free
three are free programs that you could mess with
but nothing on photoshop level
sorry

Cofrees right

Just buy photoshop

There is a trial version, go here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/compare/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; decide what you want, cs 5 or cs 5 extended (probably cs 5) and then hit the "TRY" button in the top right hand corner, then pick whatever version, and download it.
